Thanks to a new tool put online by Netflix, we know which film has had the most success on the platform, all countries combined.

Which film, produced by Netflix, was unanimous around the world? We now know the answer thanks to a new site that the platform has been offering for a few days .

To avoid his suicidal impulses, the survivors have no choice but to move blindfolded .

The film, which still includes Sandra Bullock and John Malkovich in its cast, received rather lukewarm reviews when it was released. But according to Netflix, that hasn't stopped it from amassing hundreds of millions of viewing hours .
