Netflix has a new number-one movie right now, and it’s an overlooked comedy from last summer. Currently, the DreamWorks Animation/Universal Pictures movie Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is sitting comfortably atop Netflix’s top 10 movies list. It’s followed by the 2023 Swedish thriller The Abyss, and Eli Roth’s .
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken follows “sweet and awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman” who “is desperate to fit in at school, but she mostly just feels invisible,” per a synopsis. “She’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective mom forbids her from getting in the water. When she breaks her mom’s rule, Ruby discovers that she is a descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her grandmother. The Kraken are sworn to protect the world’s oceans against vain, power-hungry mermaids.”
