Spanish Heist Thriller ‘Collision Course’ Crashes Into Netflix’s U.S. Top 10

A new Spanish heist thriller is muscling its way into American watchlists. “Collision Course,” a recent Netflix arrival from Spain, has surged to No. 3 in the U.S. movie Top 10 despite a relatively muted critical reception.

Data from a Netflix-focused analytics and news site shows that “Collision Course” only hit the service at the very end of October but quickly climbed the rankings over the Halloween weekend. The outlet’s own reviewer gives the film a middling 2.5 out of 5, yet describes it as a brisk, snackable heist caper that’s easy to throw on for casual viewing. That combination—slick, fast-paced crime story plus low commitment—often plays well with Top 10 audiences.

The current movie chart also features theatrical titles like Woody Harrelson’s basketball comedy “Champions” (2023) and the original “Gladiator” (1999), showing how older catalog films can spike again once they land on streaming. With international genre movies like “Collision Course” now sharing space in the Top 10 alongside Hollywood staples, Netflix’s mix of originals and licensed library content remains a key part of its strategy to keep viewers scrolling—and watching—just a little bit longer.
