It takes a lot for a Netflix title to set records for streaming, but those that come out on top say a lot about audiences' interests. The current buzzworthy movie on Netflix is Collision Course. Like many of the platform's previous hit movies (Troll and Under Paris being the other big ones), this is a non-English-language film, the majority of it being in Spanish.

The Spanish-language feature is helmed by Daniel Sánchez Arévalo, and features a leading cast of Laia Costa, Karra Elejalde, Tamar Novas, and Luis Zahera.

The movie has opened to become the no. 1 film in the world, according to recent streaming data. This includes particular success across Spanish-speaking regions including Argentina, Costa Rica, Colombia, and Spain, all of which currently have Collision Course as their no.1 movie. The film also reached no. 3 status in the United States, and is on top 5 lists globally.

It is too early to reach Netflix's list for their weekly Tudum rankings, but at this point it seems certain that Collision Course will be towards the top of the lists for the platform, in many markets.
