Charlize Theron’s ‘Apex’ Remains Number One on Netflix’s Top 10 Movie List
The Netflix survival thriller Apex, featuring Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton, has secured its position as the top film on Netflix for the second consecutive week. According to the streaming platform, the film garnered 40.2 million views, a rise from its initial week where it attracted 38.2 million views and ranked No. 1 in 82 countries.
Directed by Baltasar Kormákur and produced by Chernin Entertainment, the narrative follows a mountain climber, portrayed by Theron, who seeks solitude in the Australian wilderness. Her seclusion quickly turns into a perilous chase when a local, played by Egerton, targets her as part of his ritualistic plans.
In a related cultural moment, the track “Go” by the Chemical Brothers, featuring Q-Tip, has surged on the Spotify Viral50 chart and is currently the No. 1 song on Shazam. Featured in the film during a scene where Egerton’s character dances, the clip has sparked considerable interest on TikTok.

In other developments within the Top 10, the Netflix-Skydance Animation feature Swapped, starring Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple, claimed the No. 2 spot with 15.5 million views. Historically, Netflix’s animated offerings tend to maintain steady viewership post-launch; for instance, last year’s Oscar-winning hit KPop Demon Hunters started with 9.2 million viewers in its opening week before achieving multiple record-breaking milestones in subsequent weeks.
