Denzel Washington and The Equalizer 3 have unseated Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon as the most-viewed movie of the week on Netflix.
Snyder’s sci-fi movie topped the charts for two consecutive weeks.
Worth a mention is that The Equalizer 3 was released in theaters and has been available through VOD, so that’s a pretty big feat.
The Equalizer 3 comes in with 14.8 million views for the week of January 1 – January 7, 2024; Rebel Moon comes in at #2 with 11.1 million minutes, down from 34 million views a week prior and 23.9 million prior to that.
Rebel Moon now has 69 million views. In order to make it Netflix’s Top 10 list, Rebel Moon needs to pass the current #10 spot within three months held by the Russo Brothers and Chris Hemsworth’s Extraction 2 with 134.9 million views; Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and Gal Gadot’s Red Notice is #1 with 230.9 million views.
