It's another hit for Benoit Blanc.
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story has become the third most-watched Netflix original film within 10 days of release.
The film premiered on the platform on 23 December and is the much-anticipated sequel to Rian Johnson’s critically-acclaimed 2019 murder mystery Knives Out.
Just like with the first installment, Johnson wrote and directed Glass Onion, which sees Daniel Craig return as master detective Benoit Blanc as he takes on a brand new case, this time revolving around tech millionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) and his closest friends.
Blanc is invited to Bron's Greek island to play a murder mystery game, where he meets all of the millionaire's pretty unlikeable mates.

Once again, the film features an all-star cast including the likes of Dave Bautista, Janelle Monáe, Jessica Henwick, Kathryn Hahn and Kate Hudson, along with a few fantastic cameos which we won't spoil for you.
After only 10 days since its release, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story has managed to rack up an incredible 209.4 million hours watched.
