Parasite Breaks Major Records On Hulu After Just One Week Of Release

Parasite has been a phenomenon--it's not just GameSpot's favorite film of 2019, but it's also the first foreign film to ever win Best Picture at the Oscars. Now, a week after debuting on streaming service Hulu, it's reached new heights yet again.

According to Indiewire, Parasite, which has been available on Hulu since April 8, is now the most viewed foreign or independent film in the streaming service's history. That's not just a one-week record, either--it just took one week for the film to break the all-time record.

Perhaps even more impressively, out of every film currently available on Hulu, Parasite has the second highest view count. It's not clear what the current record-holder is, but this is a staggering achievement for an independent foreign film like Parasite--and it's likely to continue growing.

Parasite made $254 million at the global box office, and would likely still be in cinemas if not for the current cinema shutdown.

If you're in Australia, you can stream Parasite through Stan.
