“Spiderhead” is currently the most popular movie on Netflix, according to the streaming service’s public ranking system.

Based on George Saunders’ dystopian short story “Escape From Spiderhead,” the sci-fi thriller follows two inmates in a state-of-the-art penitentiary that uses prisoners as test subjects for drugs. “Spiderhead” stars Chris Hemsworth, Miles Teller and Jurnee Smollett and debuted on Netflix on June 17 after its Sydney premiere one week prior.

The second most popular movie of the moment is the 2017 Stephen King adaptation, “It.” The cast includes “Stranger Things” star Finn Wolfhard. Adam Sandler’s new sports drama, “Hustle,” is in third place.
