Carry-On, a film about traveling through the airport at Christmas, is on course to break into Netflix’s top ten films of all time.
The thriller, which stars Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman, and Sofia Carson, bested its performance last week by adding another 55M views on top of last week’s 42M number. It remains number one on Netflix’s weekly film charts, having already become Netflix’s biggest launch of a film this year.
Given that it has scored 97M views in its first ten days, Carry-On, which was directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and produced by Dreamworks Pictures, it could well trouble Netflix’s top ten films of all time. For reference, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery wrapped up 136.3M views in its first month to take the ten spot, Jennifer Lopez’s The Mother is number nine with 136.4M views, We Can Be Heroes got 137.3M for eighth spot and Millie Bobby Brown’s Damsel secured 138M for seventh.
Elsewhere, on the film list, Tyler Perry’s The Six Triple Eight, which stars Kerry Washington, launched with 14.3M views, putting it in second places ahead of Christmas films such as Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, That Christmas and Disaster Holiday.
On the TV side of the business, Virgin River returned to take top spot. The long-awaited wedding of Mel and Jack, played by Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, respectively, helped the show to number one with 8.1M views.
It beat Black Doves, the Christmas-set spy drama starring Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw, which was number two with 6.7M views in its second week, having topped the chart last week with 14.6M views.
Colman Domingo’s The Madness stayed in fourth spot with another 3.1M views.
On the international front, it was another big week for limited series La Palma. The volcano drama series scored 13.1M views last week and nearly doubled it this week with 24.7M views, making the top 10 in 93 countries.
