“Purple Hearts” is the new top film on the Netflix chart, a low-budget original romance starring Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine.
After eight days, it was over. How long has “The Gray Man” by the Russo Bros. topped Netflix’s domestic chart for most-watched movies — only to be replaced by the new release of another Netflix original, “Purple Hearts,” a low-budget romance with military immigrants. singer and actress Sofia Carson (“Descendants”) and Nicholas Galitzine (“Cinderella”). “The Gray Man” hasn’t disappeared — it has dropped to second place — but that couldn’t have been Netflix’s expectation for a $200 million action movie from the directors of “Avengers: Endgame,” the biggest theatrical release in recent years. six years. years, starring Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas.
The streamer reported that “Gray” racked up more than 88 million hours worldwide viewing its opening weekend, the fifth highest for an original film. That’s 60 million hours less than last year’s “Red Notice,” starring Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot. “Red” spent 12 days at No. See the article : 5 high-profile Netflix releases that will get everyone talking next week. 1, including two full weekends, but more importantly, the staying power of an expensive original. “Red” placed in the top 10 over 11 weeks; “Gray” will need to stay until mid-October to accomplish the same, with total hours seen as the most important metric.
New this week on the Netflix chart is the Argentine mystery “Recurrence” at 4th place and the documentary “Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl” at 7th.
“Sing 2,” which spent more days at Netflix’s No. 1 spot than “Gray,” is still at No. 3, the highest among non-original titles. Its staying power is impressive: it spent five weeks in the top three, and that’s after five weeks on VOD and $162 million in theaters. It’s a performance that reinforces the argument that an extended play improves performance on a streamer.
VOD has remained mostly static this week, with no recent theatrical releases to inventory. “Jurassic World: Dominion” (Universal/$19.99) remains at number one on Vudu (ranked by revenue), as well as iTunes and Google Play (both ranked by activity). This is the third week of its overall lead, something last accomplished by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (Sony) when it became a unanimous No. 1 spot for five weeks.
Universal, including its Focus unit, remains strong with 11 out of 30 chart slots. Its standard early release of titles after the third or fifth play weekend (depending on opening weekend gross) continues to show good results. “The Black Phone,” also for $19.99, is still at number two on iTunes and Google Play.
In addition to Universal’s two titles, “Uncharted” (Sony/$5.99) and “Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secret” (Warner Bros./$5.99) placed on all three charts.
This week’s only new entry is “Green Lantern: Beware My Power” (Warner Bros./$19.99). DC Comics’ original home-made screening is the fifth title in its series of Tomorrowverse animated titles, which began with “Superman: Man of Tomorrow” in 2020. League of Super-Pets” in theaters, where it debuted at number one, but below expectations at $23 million.
The rest of August should be more lively for VOD, with availability expected for “Thor: Love and Thunder” and “Lightyear” (Disney), in addition to “Minions: The Rise of Gru” and “Nope” (Universal). Still to be defined are “Top Gun: Maverick” (Paramount) and “Elvis” (Warner Bros.); its strong holdbacks could mean domestic viewers will continue to wait.
