Overview
- Netflix reports 41.6 million views and 78.3 million hours in the first three days, vaulting the film to No. 1 worldwide.
- Trade tallies place the debut as the biggest since last summer’s Happy Gilmore 2 and among the service’s top film openings to date.
- The release is part of a producer‑negotiated plan with Netflix that grants a one‑time bonus to cast and crew if viewership targets are met within 90 days.
- Critical response skews positive with an approximately 81–82% Rotten Tomatoes critics score, while audience reactions are more mixed.
- Directed by Joe Carnahan and released January 16 exclusively on Netflix, the crime thriller reunites Matt Damon and Ben Affleck and draws loosely from a real Miami case with substantial fictionalization.
