Netflix's latest post-apocalyptic thriller 'Bird Box' has only been streaming for seven days, but the film has already broken streaming records. Netflix revealed that the Sandra Bullock film had been viewed by over 45 million accounts in its first week of streaming.

The impressive figure is a new record for the streaming giant, that tends to be extremely secretive about its viewership numbers. On Friday, Netflix tweeted, "Took off my blindfold this morning to discover that 45,037,125 Netflix accounts have already watched 'Bird Box' — best first 7 days ever for a Netflix film!"
