Netflix says 53 of its viewers have been watching 'A Christmas Prince' every single day for over 2 weeks

• Netflix is keeping a close eye on how many times its customers have watched its original movie "A Christmas Prince."
• According to Netflix, 53 people have watched the movie every day for the past 18 days.
• Netflix trolled those people on Twitter by asking, "Who hurt you?"
• The quip showcased how much data Netflix has, and some found it creepy.

Netflix knows how many times its users have watched its original movie "A Christmas Prince," and it's making fun of people on Twitter for it.

The movie, Netflix's rather triumphant attempt to emulate the dumb magic of Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies, is getting a lot of attention for its achievement in the "silly" category.

The plot — basically, a journalist falls in love with a prince she is supposed to be writing about — is predictable, cliché, and impossible, even in a world where an actual American woman is marrying a royal. And the portrayal of journalism in "A Christmas Prince" is outrageous. (We went into detail about that here.)

But even though it's silly, "A Christmas Prince" has become something of a cult hit for Netflix, and it has already created some superfans.

On Sunday night, Netflix, usually very secretive about its streaming traffic, joked that it knew how many times people had watched "A Christmas Prince" and was concerned.

Netflix said 53 people had watched "A Christmas Prince" every day for the past 18 days — and, poking fun at its own original movie, it asked, "Who hurt you?"

The quip got a lot of traction on Twitter. But it also sparked a wave of remarks on how creepy it was when you consider how much data Netflix has on our collective binge-watching habits.

"A Christmas Prince" isn't the only movie Netflix is tracking and sharing about — it also said one user in the UK had watched the 2007 film "Bee Movie" 357 times this year.

Netflix did not immediately respond to Business Insider's request for comment and confirmation that these numbers are accurate.
