Regarding the performance of the contents of the more than 700 carousels on the platform, the most watched film in Latin America is Batman. The most recent installment of the superhero personified by Bruce Wayne, played by Robert Pattinson, is part of the “Del Cine a tu Casa” franchise, this agreement without precedent at a global level, which brings to the platform great titles from Warner Bros., few weeks after its theatrical release.
In this first year there are already 24 films released and in the Top 3 of the most watched after Batman are Space Jam: A new Era and The Suicide Squad.
