Polymarket thinks the week-over-week drop of The Last House will mean that it won’t go back-to-back. Meanwhile, To Catch a Killer doesn’t rank much higher, despite its bigger ranking on Sunday. Facing El Chapo (La captura) is not an option in this market.
The terms of the market specify the result will be based on when Netflix updates “its Top 10 Movies list on top10.netflix.com on Tuesday, Aug. 25, 2026, 3:00 PM ET, reflecting viewership from the previous week (Monday to Sunday).”
