That put it at No. 1 on the English film list globally as well as in 87 of the 93 countries that Netflix tracks viewership in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tRockstar Games released the 27-minute video six hours after its Netflix debut on YouTube, as well. Over there, the footage has 17 million views as of publication. However, Netflix and YouTube count views very differently. As of last month, YouTube counts a view the moment a video starts to play. Netflix derives \u201cviews\u201d from dividing hours viewed by runtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThis is a nice comeback for the popular video game franchise after a 13-year hiatus, signaling high anticipation for the new offering. Grand Theft Auto V, which debuted in 2013, currently holds the record for the biggest entertainment launch in history by earning $1 billion in just three days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tCaptured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/grand-theft-auto-vi\/\" id=\"auto-tag_grand-theft-auto-vi\" data-tag=\"grand-theft-auto-vi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Theft Auto VI<\/a> preview gives fans the most in-depth reveal yet at the upcoming release.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe Whisper Man, which also launched over the weekend, had to settle for second place on the English film list with 23.2 million views. Over in TV, Death of a Pastor\u2019s Wife debuted to 19 million views, taking first place for English series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Netflix\u2018s most-watched title last week wasn\u2019t a film or a television series.
