According to Netflix’s weekly rankings, all five Ice Age movies made the U.S. Top 10 for the week of October 5 through October 11. Together, the films generated an impressive 42.8 million views worldwide during that period.
How Did All 5 ‘Ice Age’ Movies Rank on Netflix?
The original Ice Age movie, released in 2002, led the franchise’s U.S. performance, while the other four installments also secured spots on the chart.
Here’s how the five movies ranked on Netflix’s U.S. weekly Top 10:
