Jack Black and Paul Rudd are officially the kings of the jungle. Their new film, Anaconda (2025), has officially claimed the #1 spot on the Netflix Top Movies chart in the United States. Following its streaming debut on March 25, 2026, the film surged past competitors to become the most-watched movie on the platform this week.

The film, produced by Columbia Pictures, serves as a meta-comedy-horror twist on the 1997 original. Rudd and Black play friends who head into the wilderness to film a low-budget remake of the classic snake flick, only to find themselves hunted by a genuine giant reptile. ScreenRant notes that the film’s self-aware humor and practical effects have resonated with audiences who grew up with the original creature feature.

The theatrical run for Anaconda originally began on December 25, 2025, and its transition to streaming has proved equally successful. According to reports from ComicBook.com, the movie's mix of slapstick comedy and suspenseful horror has helped it maintain a strong grip on the charts. Fans of the duo have praised the on-screen chemistry, which has been a driving force behind the film's viral success on social media platforms.
