Netflix doesn’t often reveal viewing figures for its original content, but the streaming giant has just unveiled its top ten most-watched original films in a rare move.

Deadline reports that Netflix revealed the early viewing figures for Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead. The zombie action flick is already tied for the No. 10 spot on the most-watched original movies list, and is set to garner an impressive 72 million views in its first four weeks on Netflix. The George Clooney-led The Midnight Sky, which arrived in December, shares the spot.

72 million households are betting on dead.
