There is some good news for Zack Snyder fans, the latest streaming data is in, and Zack Synder’s Rebel Moon: Part One is breaking records and surpassing his previous film, Army of the Dead.
Despite the mixed reviews, Rebel Moon stole the spotlight in its debut week, outshining Army of the Dead in viewership minutes. Netflix, known for doubling down on Snyder’s unique filmmaking style, seems to have struck gold with this latest release.
In the week of December 18 to December 24, Rebel Moon claimed the second spot for the most-watched streaming movie, racking up an impressive 966 million viewership minutes. Not bad for a debut on December 22, right? This triumph pushed Army of the Dead, with its 913 million minutes in its first week, to the background.
Leave the World Behind managed to hold the top slot with 983 million minutes, even after a 50% drop in viewership from the previous week. Now Clearly, Netflix is the place to be for Snyder’s creations.
Critics might not be praising Rebel Moon, but audiences are voting with their views. Snyder’s fanbase, known for their unwavering support, is once again proving the divide between professional critics and general audiences.
Netflix is still basking in the benefits of its collaboration with Snyder, evident not just in Rebel Moon’s success but also in the ongoing projects lined up. Despite the flak, Snyder’s influence on Netflix remains strong, and the streaming giant even gave him the honor of being the first director with his profile icon.
As Snyder gears up for the extended cut of Rebel Moon: Part One and the upcoming sequel, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, Netflix isn’t ready to part ways with the director. With Army of the Dead’s follow-up and Snyder leading the Netflix anime series Twilight of the Gods, it looks like the streaming saga with Snyder is far from over. Get ready for more Netflix-Snyder magic coming your way!
