With all of its growing popularity among the world’s viewers, Netflix is still not having the best times right now as its biggest premieres turned out to be the streaming’s biggest disasters ever seen.
It all started even back in 2023, when Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire hit the platform in December, and now it seems like Netflix’s highly anticipated flicks are jeopardized by the epic space opera franchise’s curse.
Though Snyder’s flops sank into oblivion as soon as they left the streaming’s top 10 chart, their fate is nonetheless repeated by a brand new sci-fi movie that, despite its reign in the top chart, appears to be even worse.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown, 20, and Jake Bongiovi, 22, son of music icon Jon Bon Jovi, tied the knot in a private ceremony. The couple had a small wedding ceremony last weekend, and their close family was in attendance. Brown and Bongiovi plan on having a larger ceremony this year but are already legally married.
Brown and Bongiovi engaged in April 2023, two years after starting their relationship in 2021. Brown announced the engagement via an Instagram post, which showed Brown wearing an engagement ring in Bongiovi’s embrace. The news sparked a mixed response from fans. Some were ecstatic for the couple, while others expressed concern over Brown’s young age.
Bongiovi’s father defended the couple, saying, “I don’t know if it matters. You know, if you find the right partner and you grow together, I think that would be my advice really. Growing together is wise.”

The third season of Bridgerton recorded the show’s biggest opening weekend to date.
According to Netflix’s internal rankings, the first half of season three racked up 45.05 million views (total hours watched divided by running time) worldwide after its May 16 premiere. That’s about 165.2 million hours of viewing time.
By comparison, season two debuted in March 2022 with just more than 193 million hours of viewing time globally — but that was for a full season, with a running time more than twice as long as the first half of the current season. Thus its opening weekend view count is around 22.7 million. Season two also had a three-day opening period vs. four for the current run, but one extra day only accounts for a small part of season three’s lead. (Netflix didn’t publicly release weekly viewing tallies for season one.)

Amazon Prime Video has ordered a series adaptation of the Michelle Frances novel “The Girlfriend” with Robin Wright set to star and direct, Variety has learned.
In addition, Olivia Cooke, Laurie Davidson (“Mary and George”), and Waleed Zuaiter (“Gangs of London”) will star alongside Wright.
The official description of the series states: “Laura (Wright) wants for nothing. She has a glittering career, a loving husband, Howard (Zuaiter), and, above all, she has Daniel (Davidson), her precious only son. But Laura’s seemingly perfect life is blown apart when Daniel brings home Cherry (Cooke), the girlfriend who changes everything. After an uncomfortable first meeting, Laura grows convinced that Cherry isn’t who she says she is. While no one else can see what she sees, Laura refuses to stand by and watch Daniel be deceived. She’ll do anything to protect him. As things go from bad to deadly, the question is,...

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem delivered its second straight No. 1 showing among streaming titles, leading the rankings for the last week of March. The acquired series top 10 had several new entrants, thanks in part to a change in how Nielsen reports the numbers.
The ratings service says it made an “enhancement” to its Streaming Content Ratings, which is the basis for the weekly top 10 lists, that results in a number of programs being added to the Scr product. (They weren’t previously “due to business agreements which preceded the rankings, coupled with the associated technical aspects of measurement.”) The affected programs stream mostly on Hulu and Peacock after airing on linear networks.
The upshot is that former Fox series The Resident (1.48 billion minutes on Hulu and Netflix) and animated mainstays Family Guy (837 million minutes on Hulu) and American Dad (619 million on Hulu) all made their first appearance in the top...

Just this year, she starred as the lead in Netflix's tentpole film, Damsel, and is next set to appear alongside Chris Pratt in 2024's The Electric State.

Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver might have debuted at #1 on the English Films List for Netflix’s Top 10 with 21.4 million views, but it wasn’t enough to top the original or stand against other films on the popular streaming service. When Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire debuted in December, the Star Wars-like action film gained 23.9 million views during its opening window. While the gap between both films isn’t staggering, one has to wonder why more people failed to tune in for the continuation of Snyder’s story.
While I would say the promotional lead-up to Rebel Moon 2 felt weaker than the first, others could beg to differ. Regardless of the sequel’s opening salvo, 5.5 million viewers returned to Rebel Moon—Part One: A Child of Fire to familiarize themselves with the original before watching the sequel.

The docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV posted Max’s best streaming numbers to date for its premiere week.
The show, which streamed on Max concurrent with its on-air premiere on ID, had 1.25 billion minutes of viewing for the week of March 18-24. That’s the largest weekly total for any series on Max in the nearly four years of Nielsen’s streaming rankings, edging out the 1.19 billion for The Last of Us in early 2023.
Netflix’s 3 Body Problem grabbed the overall No. 1 spot for the week (it premiered March 21), racking up 1.37 billion minutes over its first four days. The sci-fi series narrowly beat Prime Video’s remake of Road House, which had 1.32 billion minutes of viewing in the United States. Amazon had earlier claimed that the movie was Prime Video’s biggest film premiere worldwide so far.

Netflix’s global subscribers climbed by 9.3m to 269.6m in the first quarter of 2024 and revenue increased 14.8% year-on-year to $9.4bn, beating analysts’ expectations on both counts.
The streamer said starting in Q1 2025 it will stop reporting quarterly membership numbers and average revenue per member and focus on its “primary financial metrics” like revenue, operating income, profit, earnings per share, and free cash flow.
Q2 revenue guidance of $9.49bn was below Wall Street estimates, causing stock to fall more than 5% after closing to $581.

Netflix added 9.33 million subscribers in the first quarter of 2024, for which Wall Street had anticipated 4.9 million net adds. That’s a legit wow, as is Netflix’s new grand total of 269.60 million global paid subscribers.
Sure, Netflix added more than 13 million subs in the prior quarter, but in the last Q1, the company added fewer than 2 million subscribers. Things have been going very well for Netflix as of late. A year ago, shares in Netflix (Nflx) traded around $331; today, they closed at $611.15. After hours, the Nflx share price declined due to the company’s Q2 earnings forecasts not burning as bright.
And perhaps this also didn’t help: Next year, Netflix is making some major changes to how it reports its membership. The company said in today’s shareholder letter it will no longer report its subscriber tally on a quarterly basis, rather it will just announce “major subscriber milestones” as it crosses them.

Netflix has made a strategic change following the end of the tenure of Scott Stuber as Netflix film chief, with Dan Lin taking over to alter the scenario in the film department. The very idea of it means a lot to filmmakers and stars for Netflix originals.

Millie Bobby Brown, who claimed global fandom with Netflix original show, Stranger Things has appeared in several other projects for the studio. But under Lin’s new tenure, the actor gets the short end of the stick. The strategic change in the studio means a lot of different things, especially in content production and cinematic adaptation.

Netflix is getting ready to kick off the first-quarter 2024 earnings season for Hollywood on April 18, and the momentum of its subscriber growth, advertising tier and password-sharing crackdown will be among the focus areas for investors and Wall Street analysts.
Investors will also keep an ear out for possible commentary on content strategy, including a film division reorganization under new head Dan Lin. Sources have told The Hollywood Reporter that the features division will now be split up by genre — such as sci-fi, rom-com and faith-based. Among Netflix’s first-quarter originals were such series as 3 Body Problem and Avatar: The Last Airbender, and such films as Damsel and Spaceman.
The company’s stock has been on the upswing so far in 2024, gaining 30 percent year-to-date through Monday to close at $607.15, compared to a 6.7 percent gain in the broad-based S&P 500 stock index. However, several analysts have boosted their stock price targets...

Taylor Swift made her chart debut in Nielsen’s streaming rankings, as her concert movie The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had a strong showing over its first four days of release on Disney+.
The film racked up 677 million minutes of viewing in the United States in the week of March 11-17 (it debuted on Disney+ on March 14), finishing second among movies and eighth among all titles for the week. Disney had previously said that The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had 4.6 million views (defined as total viewing time divided by running time) worldwide over its first three days; the four days of Nielsen measurement translate to about 3.22 million views of the 3 1/2-hour film.

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) had some tough competition in its debut week on Disney+.
The film landed on the streamer March 14 and racked up 677M minutes in its first few days on the platform, according to Nielsen. That placed it at No. 8 overall on Nielsen’s streaming list for the week of March 11 to 17.
Nielsen says viewing was driven by an audience that was 70% female, and it was pretty evenly distributed across age ranges. Naturally, the 18-34 demo had the highest concentration of viewing with 26%.
Meanwhile, The Gentleman and Love Is Blind were jockeying for the top spot, with the former ultimately winning out. Although Love Is Blind marked its fourth consecutive week with over a billion viewing minutes (1.44B to be exact), it fell to third place this week.

“Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version)” was the eighth-most-streamed title in the U.S. during the March 11-17 viewing window, per Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings. The concert film was watched for 677 million minutes during its first four days on Disney+.
Nielsen also notes that “Eras Tour” viewers were 70% female and “well distributed” across age ranges, though the 18-34 demographic came in strongest at 26%.
That made it the second-most-streamed movie of the week, between Millie Bobby Brown’s “Damsel,” which was watched for 1.5 billion minutes in its first full week of availability, landing it as the No. 2 title overall.
The No. 1 title was “The Gentlemen,” Guy Ritchie’s Netflix series that last week debuted at No. 3 behind “Love Is Blind” and “Damsel.” Increasing by 54% in its first full week of availability, the series hit 1.9 billion minutes watched during this window.

The Austin-based filmmaking duo of David and Nathan Zellner have spent the last decade-plus upending genre conventions within the coming-of-age movie (2012’s Kid-Thing), the road movie, and the western (2018’s Damsel). With their latest feature, Sasquatch Sunset, the brother filmmakers have concocted a work that’s entirely sui generis. A film they billed ahead of its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival as “a year in the life of a singular family” is, in fact, a chronicle of four Bigfoot-like creatures roaming the forest without human interruption or intervention.
Sasquatch Sunset picks up a thread from the Zellner brothers’ 2011 short “Sasquatch Birth Journal 2,” which treats the American mythical figure as an unironic anthropological specimen. The feature takes their exploration even further as it tracks a mother and father (Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough), along with their two children (Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner), as they interact with the animal kingdom and natural world.

The feature takes their exploration even further as it tracks a mother and father (Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keough), along with their two children (Christophe Zajac-Denek and Nathan Zellner), as they interact with the animal kingdom and natural world.

Sasquatch Sunset has more in common with a nature documentary than a narrative film: 89 minutes of wordless, but not silent, footage of a bigfoot family, which, at first, is only discernable by height. Even Sunset’s most recognizable star, Jesse Eisenberg, is lost...

3 Body Problem spent another week atop Netflix’s TV charts.
The drama series from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D. B. Weiss with Alexander Woo, drove another 8.3M views from April 1 to 7. That’s quite a bit down from last week’s more than 15M views but still enough to land it at No. 1. According to Netflix, it was in the Top 10 in 92 countries.
At this point, it is quite unlikely that the series would break into the most popular list, as viewership appears to be depreciating fairly quickly. However, there are still several weeks in the show’s premiere window for it to continue racking up views, if it can maintain a steady audience.
The Gentlemen remained in third place this week with 5.6M views, while Ripley debuted at No. 8 with 2.3M views. HBO has another Netflix hit on its hands, as Sex and the City...

Millie Bobby Brown is no stranger to running from nightmarish creatures. The 20-year-old Netflix starlet has faced off against the Demogorgon, Godzilla and can now add a fire-breathing dragon to the list. Brown leads Netflix’s latest fantasy flick “Damsel” as Elodie, a girl plucked out of her small, impoverished village to enter into a marriage of convenience with Prince Henry of Aurea, played by Nick Robinson. Building the World The deal seems too good to be true — Elodie’s village would receive gold from the kingdom, and all she needed to do was get to know the prince and follow through with the marriage. Warning signs are subtly introduced on the journey to Aurea, where Elodie’s family travels through dark fog illuminated by hyper-realistic dragon statues with fire in their mouths. As day breaks, the breathtaking kingdom scenery is revealed and the foreboding dragons are quickly forgotten by the family.

To understand why is the industry so conflicted over how to release movies, check out the contradictory paths of two Amazon films, “The Beekeeper” and “Road House.”
The first, which stars Jason Statham as a righteous avenger, is a $40 million production acquired by Amazon MGM for the US. It grossed $66 million in its domestic theatrical release and went on to become a hit as a $19.99 PVOD. Currently, it’s $5.99 to rent and is #1 at iTunes (which ranks by transactions) as well as Fandango (which tracks by revenue).
That’s nearly unheard of at Fandango, which sometimes see its entire top 10 comprised of $19.99 titles. It is also unusual for a mid-level success like “The Beekeeper” to be so dominant on VOD.
Meantime, “Road House” skipped theaters and leads Reelgood’s list of most-streamed movies for the week ending last Wednesday.
At Netflix, another random theatrical release dominates its most-watched movie chart.

Netflix is at or near the top of both Nielsen and Luminate’s streaming rankings every week, but achieved that with some titles that differ from its usual fare during the March 29-April 3 viewing window.
As expected, “3 Body Problem” remained the most-watched streaming original series of the week per Luminate with 964.1 million minutes watched (an estimated 3.6 million views) — unsurprising, as the title is the follow-up from “Game of Thrones” helmers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who created the show alongside Alexander Woo.
But right behind it was “Testament: The Story of Moses,” a biblical series that Netflix calls a “docudrama” that landed on the streamer in time for Easter weekend. Though the project differs from the content typically prioritized by Netflix (and most streamers) it reached a strong 707.8 million minutes watched. Divided by the series’ just over 4-hour runtime, that translates to an estimated 2.8 million views.

Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen opened with a bang on Netflix.
The series, a spinoff of Ritchie’s 2019 film, delivered almost 1.21 billion minutes of viewing over its first four days (it premiered March 7), according to Nielsen’s streaming rankings for March 4-10. It ranked second among all streaming series for the week, behind Love Is Blind (1.5 billion minutes), which repeated as the top overall title.
Netflix also got a big first week for Millie Bobby Brown’s movie Damsel, which edged The Gentlemen for second place overall: Damsel had 1.209 billion minutes of viewing to 1.205 billion for The Gentlemen. Two other shows also topped the billion-minute mark — Bluey (1.1 billion on Disney+) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (1.04 billion on Netflix and Peacock).
After a huge opening and a strong second week, Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender fell by about 51 percent to 950 million minutes, still good for sixth place overall and third among original series.

“Love Is Blind” has spent four weeks on the Nielsen Streaming Top 10 fueled by the episodic release of its sixth season, and had its second No. 1 week in a row between March 4 and March 10. The reality dating series was watched for 1.5 billion minutes during this viewing window, which included the release of the Season 6’s climactic twelfth episode.
Though that 1.5 billion minutes includes viewership of all seasons of the reality dating series during the week, Nielsen says that over one third of the tally was attributable to the wedding episode, which itself saw half of its viewership on the exact day of its release. Though Netflix is known for its binge releases, “Love Is Blind” is undeniable evidence of the potential for success with segmented drops.
In second place was a movie: Netflix’s “Damsel,” starring Millie Bobby Brown, which debuted with 1.2 billion minutes watched in its first three days of availability.

What the movie-streaming public wants depends on which top 10 chart you prefer. This week offered little consistency and some outright contradictions.
One thing is clear: Jake Gyllenhaal’s straight-to-streaming “Road House” remake is a massive hit. Amazon Prime reported over 50 million worldwide viewers through its second streaming weekend and gateway app Reelgood reported it as the week’s #1 movie for March 21-27 in the U.S.
“The Accountant,” a 2016 Warner Bros. drama starring Ben Affleck, is currently #1 at Netflix. On Easter weekend “The Passion of the Christ” led VOD at iTunes, while the just-released $19.99 “Imaginary” (Lionsgate) topped Fandango’s revenue-calculated list. (It was #20 at iTunes.) For a second week, Google Play did not update its list.
“Ordinary Angels” (also Lionsgate) is #2 at Fandango, but #14 at iTunes. Since Fandango calculates by revenue, that list favors PVODs — but this week, six of its top 10 rented for $5.99 or less; “The Passion of the Christ,...

“Road House” was the most-watched streaming original title for the week of March 22-28, per Luminate. Based on the 1989 Patrick Swayze flick of the same, the Amazon Prime Video project was watched for 1.7 billion minutes during this viewing window.
The week before, “Road House” debuted at No. 5 on the movies chart with 121.5 million minutes watched, despite only having been available for one day. Evidently, the Jake Gyllenhaal remake picked up steam throughout its first week of availability, with an increased daily average of nearly 250 million minutes watched.
Divided by its 121-minute runtime, this week’s 1.7 billion viewing minutes of “Road House” translate to an estimated 13.9 million total views.
“Shirley,” the Netflix biopic about the pioneering politician Shirley Chisholm, debuted as the No. 2 movie with 298.7 million minutes watched. In total views, however, it was still beat by last week’s winning movie: “Irish Wish,” which clocked in at No. 3 from March...

At their best, films aimed at young kids can be enjoyed by adults as well and truly earn the "family movie" title. 2023 brought plenty of titles that fit the bill, from box office hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and "Migration" to streaming treats like "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget" and "Leo."
Now it's 2024's turn to show us what it's got, and while the early months of the year tend to be pretty dry when it comes to family movies, as studios are holding them back for school vacations and long summer days, there are some fresh, funny, and heartwarming new releases on offer. From a new "Peanuts" special to a fantasy movie filled with dragon-related perils to the latest high-flying antics of "Kung Fu Panda," here are the best family movies of 2024 so far.

Two new biopics about 20th-century Black icons entered the home viewing charts this week: “Bob Marley: One Love” (Paramount), the film about the legendary reggae artist nearing $100 million in theaters, and “Shirley” (Netflix), about the first Black Congresswoman and one-time presidential candidate, led newcomers in a week that mostly repeated top titles.
“One Love” is #1 at Fandango, which ranks by revenue. The VOD platform won’t be able to provide its whole top 10 until Monday, but the company confirms that placement. Somewhat surprisingly, “One Love” is #3 at iTunes, behind “Anyone but You” (Sony) and “The Beekeeper” (Lionsgate), now both at $5.99 to rent after earlier strong PVOD performances at $19.99.
Both Fandango and Google Play chart by transactions. But normally a film with the success in theaters that “Bob Marley” had would debut at #1. It’s unclear, with data beyond relative rankings absent, whether this might be just because the reduced price...

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown and fiancé Jake Bongiovi, son of musician Jon Bon Jovi, are tying the knot with Brown’s costar, Matthew Modine, officiating.
Modine, known for his roles in Full Metal Jacket and Vision Quest, plays Brown’s father figure in the Netflix hit series Stranger Things. While Modine’s character, known as “Papa” by Eleven or Dr. Martin Brenner, isn’t the kindest in the show, there was nothing but love from Modine when he announced he will officiate the young couple’s marriage.
Modine told Access Daily, “I have one of those licenses to get people married and Millie thought it’d be great, and then Jake said it would be a great idea, so I wrote the wedding vows and they loved what I wrote for them to join hands and to become husband and wife.”

Millie Bobby Brown is letting her Stranger Things “Papa” officiate her upcoming wedding to Jake Bongiovi.
Matthew Modine, who plays Dr. Martin Brenner, aka Eleven’s “Papa,” on the hit Netflix sci-fi series, recently revealed to Access Daily how the idea of being the one to officiate his co-star’s nuptials to Jon Bon Jovi’s son came about.

Matthew Modine, who plays Dr. Martin Brenner, aka Eleven’s “Papa,” on the hit Netflix sci-fi series, recently revealed to Access Daily how the idea of being the one to officiate his co-star’s nuptials to Jon Bon Jovi’s son came about.
“I have one of those licenses to get people married and Millie thought it’d be great and then Jake said it would be a great idea, so I wrote the wedding vows and they loved what I wrote for them to join hands and to become husband and wife,” he explained.
Modine noted that he has officiated a wedding once before, adding, “It’s such a beautiful thing to be able to join two people in holy matrimony.”

The Gentlemen features Ray Winstone as a barbeque-devouring drug lord, and the Guy Ritchie series has put in a meaty display with British audiences.
The crime drama premiered on March 7 with an audience of more than 3.5M, according to viewing figures made available by Barb, the UK’s audience research body.
The performance secured The Gentlemen 27th place in a list of the 50 most-watched TV shows in the UK during the seven days to March 10.
The highest-rated show of the week was Death In Paradise, which was watched by 7.3M on the BBC, according to the Barb figures.
The Gentlemen beat other notable Netflix launches in 2024, including One Day‘s audience of 1.7M in February and Millie Bobby Brown film Damsel, which was seen by 1.8M in its first week.
Starring Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, The Gentlemen could not, however, match Fool Me Once’s blockbuster debut of 6.3M viewers in January.

Oscar-winning films were denied a theatrical victory lap, grossing less than $1 million total last weekend. They found gold at home, where titles like “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” ranked high on both VOD and on streaming.
Two $19.99 PVOD titles lead the VOD charts. “Anyone but You” (Sony) remains #1 at iTunes and Google, while the just-released “Madame Web” is #1 at Fandango. “Anyone” is #5 at Fandango, while “Madame Web,” released last Friday, has yet to be listed at Google Play, which always lags a few days.
Oscar titles otherwise dominated. Five films, all with rentals between $4.99 and $6.99 (and all but one also streaming), took 12 of 30 positions on three VOD charts. “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things” (Searchlight) swept the field.
On two charts were winners “American Fiction” (Amazon MGM), “Anatomy of a Fall” (Neon), and “The Zone of Interest” (A24). “The Beekeeper” (Amazon MGM), still at $19.99, and “Wonka” (WB), now reduced to $5.99, round out the...
