This may come as no surprise considering that the movie was such a hit when it dropped in 2014 that it led to the creation of a multimillion dollar franchise as well as the production of a sequel,The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part(2019) and two spinoffs,The Lego Batman MovieandThe Lego Ninjago Movie.
According toScreenRant, Netflix has confirmed thatThe Lego Movieis at the Number 9 spot on their global chart with 5.4 million hours viewed across 3.2 million viewers, making the film already on track to replicate its original success. Following its release ten years ago, it became a critical and commercial success, earning $468.1 million worldwide against its $65 million budget while also receiving numerous accolades, one of which was an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.

‘The LEGO Movie’s Fame Carries On
Just like most films based on popular toys,many feared thatThe LEGO Moviewould be a glorified commercialbefore its release in 2014, even though the laudable directors Lord and Miller were part of the project. However, when released, it gained global appeal almost immediately to the extent that fans disapproved of it not being considered for Best Animated Feature at the 2015 Academy Awards. Regardless, the film’s popularity increased, thereby its success, and while it remains unclear what’s next for the franchise as per production,The LEGO Movie’s Netflix hit is an indication of the continuous interest in the franchise even long after it was made.
