"'The Ridiculous 6,' by way of example, in the first 30 days on Netflix it's been the most-watched movie in the history of Netflix," the streaming platform's chief content officer Ted Sarandos said at CES on Wednesday. "It's also enjoyed a spot at No. 1 in every territory we operate in, and in many of them it's still No. 1."
