has released its global top 10 most-watched film titles right now, and the list really does have something for nearly every mood. From a rom-com about two strangers who end up drunk, married and stuck with a judge’s order to stay together, to a new documentary and an animated Minions adventure, the lineup moves from comedy to K-pop to family viewing without much of a pause.

The biggest number on the board belongs to one of the films on the list, which has drawn 19,400,000 views. That kind of reach is what turns a weekly ranking into a snapshot of what people are actually watching, not just browsing. and star in the Vegas-set comedy, while the BTS documentary follows the group after they reunite in Los Angeles following military service and record their sixth studio album, ARIRANG.

The rest of the list stretches across genres in a way that makes the ranking feel unusually broad. The 2022 Minions movie, set in 1975, follows a young Gru as he dreams of becoming a supervillain and then goes on the run with his Minions after a bid to join the Vicious 6 goes wrong. Another title centers on three women who are tricked by a ruthless phone scam and then band together to take on the criminal network that stole their money. The second animated Bad Guys film is there too, with and joining reformed criminals Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Piranha, Mr. Shark and Ms. Tarantula as they are recruited by the Bad Girls for a heist.

It is that the current list runs from K-pop to rom-com to drama to action and adventure, which is exactly why it is built to pull in a wide audience. The sharper question is whether any single title can keep that pace for long, or whether the real story is the breadth of what viewers are choosing when they open the app.
