The numbers for “Bird Box” are in, and they’re huge.
It’s not often that Netflix releases viewership numbers, but when it does, they’re usually huge. Case in point: The streamer boasted that over 45 million accounts watched the Sandra Bullock-starring Bird Box within its first week of release. (Nielsen said otherwise, but the independent figure was still huge .) That number, which only includes viewers who finished at least 70 percent of the film, has since grown to 80 million households — if Bird Box had been released in theaters, it could be one of the highest-grossing movies of all-time.
