A Phenomenal Opening for 'Swapped'

The recently released animated film, 'Swapped,' which features the vocal talents of acclaimed actors Michael B.

Initially, the film debuted as the second most-watched English-language movie on Netflix during its inaugural three days, attracting an impressive 15.5 million views. This strong start hinted at the significant impact the movie would soon make.

Setting a New Benchmark in Animated Viewership

Building on its initial success, 'Swapped' saw a dramatic surge in its audience, accumulating a staggering 38.7 million views during the week spanning May 4th to May 10th. This remarkable figure not only represents a substantial leap from its opening performance but also establishes a new all-time record for a Netflix animated movie, marking the highest viewership achieved within a seven-day period. This milestone underscores the film's widespread appeal and its successful engagement with a massive global audience.
