Glass Onion's Netflix opening weekend viewing figures have been revealed — and, as expected, the Knives Out sequel has proven a mammoth hit.

Rian Johnson's second whodunnit starring Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc hit Netflix on December 23 and quickly became the streaming service's most-watched movie in the last week, from December 19 to 25.

From the 23rd to the 25th, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery racked up an impressive 82.14 million viewing hours from Netflix subscribers around the globe (via Netflix Top 10).

That's over 57 million more viewing hours than the film in second place, The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari, which amassed 25.11 million global viewing hours during the same period.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio landed in third with 19.68 million global viewing hours across the week, while the rest of the top 10 list was largely made up of various Christmas movies.

It's important to note that while Glass Onion is Netflix's most-watched movie for the week of December 19 to December 25, it isn't the most-watched title overall.

Wednesday, Emily in Paris, and The Recruit all received more views during the same period. Wednesday, which is Netflix's biggest show ever, racked up a whopping 118.54 million global viewing hours; Emily in Paris season 3 pulled in 117.61 million; and The Recruit season 1 amassed 95.59 million.

It's also worth noting that Wednesday and The Recruit were available to watch for the entire week of December 19 to December 25, while Emily in Paris was on Netflix for only four days of that week. Glass Onion was available from December 23 onwards, so the movie earned its 82.14 million global viewing hours in fewer days.

Knives Out is available to rent or buy on DVD, Blu-ray or as a digital download. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is on Netflix now.
