Netflix is noting that the Dwayne Johnson/Gal Gadot/Ryan Reynolds action comedy Red Notice logged 148.72 million hours in its „opening weekend.“
Netflix has announced a change in how it releases its streaming data. Beginning with the blockbuster debut of Red Notice, Netflix.com will now offer up a weekly top-ten list, divided by medium (movies or television) and whether the content in question is in English or a different language. It’ll be listed by hours-viewed, which requires just one more math problem compared to the Nielsen’s and will list global viewership rather than just American televisions. As such, just in time to brag about it, Netflix is noting that the Dwayne Johnson/Gal Gadot/Ryan Reynolds action comedy Red Notice logged 148.72 million hours for the week of November 8 through November 14. Considering the film dropped just this past Friday, that’s an “opening weekend” of 8.923 billion minutes viewed, and almost triple anything else ( Squid Game, Love Hard, Narcos season three, etc.) from last week. Since the list is global for now (thus far, individual countries have top-ten rankings but no viewership stats), we’re going to start seeing titles ruling globally which aren’t currently available in the United States. For example, Venom topped globally among English-language movies in mid-October with 20 million hours, which makes sense as folks were catching up with (or rewatching) the Tom Hardy blockbuster before or after seeing Venom: Let There Be Carnage theatrically. As for Red Notice, which is obviously the big news, it has almost entered the top ten among all Netflix movies.
