How many of these have you seen?
In order to mark its 25th anniversary, Rotten Tomatoes recently released a list of the most major movies for the review-aggregation website since its inception.
Highlighting a number of films that reached significant milestones on the site or during its run, among the achievements was ‘most streamed movie on Netflix‘. This was determined by Rotten Tomatoes based on figures from Netflix showing how many hours viewed the streaming service’s most popular films racked up in the 28 days since their release.
According to Rotten Tomatoes and Netflix, the action comedy Red Notice starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds took the top spot with 364,020,000 hours.
Red Notice
“Eight of the top 10 most streamed movies on the platform came to us during lockdown, and the most successful of them all was 2021’s Red Notice,” the review aggregation website wrote.
“Thanks to its shiny A-list trio of Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot, the spy action-comedy netted a whopping 364,020,000 hours of watch time in its first 28 days of release, beating its runner-up, the even more star-studded Don’t Look Up (which debuted just over a month later), by more than 4,000,000 hours.”
Also in the top five were the Sandra Bullock horror Bird Box, the Knives Out sequel Glass Onion and the action thriller The Gray Man, starring Chris Evans and Ryan Gosling.
Meanwhile, rounding out the top 10 was The Adam Project, Extraction, Purple Hearts, The Unforgivable and The Irishman.
