Directed by Felicity Morris and produced by RAW, AGC Studios and Gaspin Media, The Tinder Swindler follows a group who team together to take revenge after being the victims of an online dating con. The film only released on February 2 so the numbers represent only five days of viewing.

Also in the top three this week was Home Team (33.6 million) and Despicable Me 2 (14.3 million).

The numbers are impressive but don’t come close to the success seen by Don’t Look Up earlier this year, which took advantage of the film-hungry holiday season and scored 152.29 million hours December 27 – January 2, which is the biggest such figure in Netflix’s history. Adam McKay’s now Oscar-nominated film is still in seventh placed on this week’s top 10 chart, adding a further 6.9 million views during its seventh week on release.
