Michael B. Jordan Animated Pic ‘Swapped’ Breaks In To Netflix’s Most Popular Movies List
Netflix's original animated feature Swapped, starring Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple, has broken into the top ten of the streamer's most popular movies list, having launched in spring 2026. The milestone underscores the film's staying power on the platform months after release, reinforcing Netflix's push into original animated content led by star voice casts.
The film ranks tenth with 139.8 million views after 79 days on Netflix, with the ranking based on 91 days of tracking data, meaning it could climb further once the full period is measured. It had already set a studio record of 38.7 million views in a single week (4-10 May) for an animated original. Elsewhere in this week's top ten, Zoey Deutch's romantic comedy Voicemails for Isabelle held at number two in its fifth week of release, a sign it may be following a similar trajectory to previous long-running hits.
In short
- Swapped enters Netflix's top ten most popular films, at No. 10
- Film has 139.8M views after 79 days on the platform
- It previously set a weekly viewership record for animated originals
Explained simply
Swapped is an original animated feature that Netflix released in spring 2026, featuring voice performances from Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple. Netflix has been increasing its investment in original animation, particularly by casting well-known actors in these voice roles.
Netflix publishes viewing data for its films, using audience numbers to rank its most-watched titles. These viewership rankings matter because they provide a measure of whether a film is finding and maintaining an audience over time.
The performance of Swapped is significant in the context of Netflix's animation strategy, which relies on casting recognisable talent. How well such animated features perform influences the company's decisions about future investment in original animation.
