I feel like they're a bit unlucky as well. I mean I was so certain that Gareth Edwards would deliver something amazing with 'Apostle' and then it was kind of meh. Then he follows that up with Gangs of London for Sky and it's awesome. I wonder how agressive they are when they're picking up movies. Do they outbid other studios or do they pickup what everyone else doesn't really want? Like how come they got Bong Joon-ho's Okja but not Parasite
Think some of these like Platform are getting covid boosts, folks stuck at home looking to watch anything new. Lot of the newer releases are charting.
The mark Wahlberg one at no.3? Wow ok.
I watched it and thought nothing special of it and viewed it as a low budget feeling, average movie. Nothing too bad or good. Worth a watch but forgotten soon after. The hdr in it was nice tho. Guess marky mark has some serious pulling power still. Good for him.
Glad to see extraction ranking so damn high, had some of the best action set pieces last year and was only bested by top tier stuff like JW3.

64m views for the Irishman would have translated into non-flop money at the cinemas - not it would have pulled anywhere near those numbers.
It's weird that they have so many high profile names under their banner but are not managing to nail quality at all. That being said I didn't watch a lot of those movies. For most I have never even seen a trailer.

Roma and Two Popes.
They did have 24 Oscar nominations -- More then any studios this year.
Coincidentally just gave Extraction a watch yesterday. It didn't quite hit the mark, where it fell somewhere in between being too gory to be 80s Schwarzenegger like action, too nihilistic to be a suspenseful thriller. But I appreciated it more than John Wick 3 frankly. That 30 minute semi-one take action shot was really something to behold.
Bird box and Extraction probably would have made big box office money. Don't get why they won't do more cinema releases or home video. Sounds like easy money.
It was okay, but that product placement (Amazon, allergy pills, etc) was Hawaii 5-0 Subway level haha
Wrong Missy was so bad I turned it off after 25 minutes.
CGI car chases in Extraction were weird, but it was a solid straight-to-video action movie
this list isn't surprising at all. most of these were front page/trending netflix movies that show up immediately when you turn on the app. it's basically top 40 radio, not that it's a bad thing but most people don't bother with anything you have to search for.
Surprised Bright isn't here and that Irishman is.
Not surprised at Extraction, they pushed it so hard.

bird box yeah maybe extraction was beneficiary to quarantine "okay why not watch this bullshit?" mentality
even bird box though i think nobody particularly wants to get their ass off the couch and spend $15+ to see it. i think it's the new paradigm we'll see theaters get the super hero extravaganzas and mostly not much else
This is number of views, and views could be only 2m at minimum? ....these seem like lower numbers, or am I way off?Full list:
Extraction 99M
Bird Box 89M
Spenser Confidential 85M
6 Underground 83M
Murder Mystery 73M
The Irishman 64M
Triple Frontier 63M
The Wrong Missy 59M
The Platform 56M
The Perfect Date 48M
Netflix Releases All-Time Top 10 Original Movie List, Headed By ‘Extraction’
"Extraction" is the top original movie ever released by Netflix, with a company-reported 99 million viewers in its first four weeks.deadline.com
Keep in mind that this is calculated with their new metric where watching a movie for two minutes counts as a view.
Not too many surprises but I expected the Sandler movies to pull more.
That list makes Netflix original film output seem worse than it actually is.
There are plenty of quality Netflix originals that are not on that list:
Marriage Story
The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)
The Other Side of the Wind
Da 5 Bloods
Roma
Okja
The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
Private Life
Atlantics
Klaus
I Lost My Body
First They Killed My Father
Mudbound
Beasts of No Nation
22 July
The King
Dolemite Is My Name
Happy As Lazarro (Americas only)
On Body and Soul (Americas only)
A Shaun the Sheep Movie: Farmageddon (Americas only)
Girl (Americas only)
Uncut Gems (outside US only)
Annihilation (outside US/Canada only)
Blade of the Immortal (selected territories)

This. Meyerowitz Stories is soooooo great. A classic Noah Baumbach dramedy.
Here are others I've seen that I'd consider as high quality as movies come.
Beasts of No Nation, I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore, Okja, Mudbound, Meyerowitz Stories, Roma, Ballad of Buster Scruggs, The Other Side of the Wind, High Flying Bird, Paddleton, Dolemite is My Name, Da 5 Bloods
I actually liked Bird Box but I haven't seen any of the others on the list cause they all sounded boring.
Hey, when did we go back to 2015.
People who still spout this ignorance always amuse me. Netflix's original content shits all over anything Disney + and the other streaming services offer. Only other two that are in the same league are HBO Max and Prime.
The Irishman, Marriage Story, Two Popes, Dolemite, Uncut Gems, The Platform have all been released in the past year or so. If people don't watch them as much as more generic stuff, it's their fault.
This list is telling of the issues Netlix will have in the USA going forward imo. They need to step their game up with original content, desperately.
At the moment while they can't shoot anything, they should be buying up all the leftover festival films in the world. That might actually do well to up the quality.
I was actually really impressed by her performance. She's been really shy in previous roles and obviously steps waaaayyyyy out in that movie
Extraction is a bottom of the barrel action flick with no recognizable features. It would've been a graveyard at the box office.
They updated the list. Perfect Date is bumped from the top 10 and Old Guard enters at number 6.
Since when is the quality of movies an indicator of box office success?
Say what you want about 6 Underground, but it was the absolute perfect first movie for my new LG C9 HDR 4K OLED TV.
It's a technical benchmark with his Dolby Vision HDR and all the super clean, super sharp slow motion scenes in 4K.
And it has Mélanie Laurent.

There are tons of mediocre action movies coming out each year similar to Extraction that do horrible at the BO. I don't see any plausible reason to think Extraction would do better.
There's tons of mediocre action movies on Netflix too but no where near 99m views. Clearly this movie had a big interest. It's easy to use covid as an excuse but it's not like there isn't a flood of shit to watch. Plus the budget was cheap, wouldn't have been hard to make a nice profit.
bird box just went big because of manufactured memes
It would have had maybe a medium opening for the genre and completely fizzled out afterwards. It's hollow as fuck.
Bird Box was trash, and The Irishman was so long and boring that I just gave up on it 2 hours in.
