Netflix's daily lists of its most popular titles can highlight the streamer's original content, which is essential as more companies enter the streaming war. This week, though, its most popular movies are made up of mostly licensed titles like the Tom Hanks drama "Road to Perdition" and the Angelina Jolie thriller "Salt."

Netflix introduced daily top 10 lists of its most viewed movies and TV shows in February (it counts a view if an account watches at least two minutes of a title).

Every week, the streaming search engine Reelgood compiles for Business Insider a list of which movies have been most prominent on the streamer's daily lists that week.

This week includes an entirely new set of movies from what have been making the list the last couple weeks, such as the Netflix original buddy-cop comedy "Coffee and Kareem" and "The Hangover" (both starring Ed Helms).

Below are Netflix's 7 most popular movies of the week in the US:
