That number equates to 7.1 million hours viewed on the service, which is enough to rank sixth on the global top non-English movies chart. To put the number in perspective, it is only a million away from the Netflix original film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep (4.8 million) which also opened during the same tracking week. 

Aside from the film topping the film charts this week in Qatar and United Arab Emirates, Hello, Love, Again was also able to secure a spot in the top ten charts in more overseas markets including Bahrain, Hong Kong, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and Taiwan.

In the film, after fighting for their love to conquer time, distance and a global shutdown that keeps them apart, Joy and Ethan meet again in Canada but realize that they have also changed a lot, individually.

Balota also continues to secure a spot on Philippines' top film chart. This week the Marian Rivera-led thriller placed 5th on the chart. Expect a good standing for the film on the next Netflix Engagement Report.

In the film, a teacher puts her life on the line to protect a ballot box full of crucial votes as corrupt forces threaten to overturn a key local election. Film also stars Will Ashley, Nico Antonio, Royce Cabrera, Raheel Bhyria, Sue Prado, Sassa Gurl, Esnyr Ranollo, Donna Cariaga, Joel Saracho, Gardo Versoza, & Mae Paner.
