Denzel Washington is an Oscar winner and a major star in Hollywood by any metric, but he’s not unusually seen as a box office juggernaut. While several of his movies have been unqualified hits theatrically, his most recent outing, The Equalizer 3, which reunited Washington with Man on Fire co-star Dakota Fanning, was only the tenth biggest domestic box office of his career. However, there is one place it is currently number one: Netflix.
Netflix’s numbers for the first week of 2024 are out, and they show that the most-watched movie in the English language for the week was The Equalizer 3. It beat out the number two film, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon - Part One (which is part of the director's exclusive Netflix deal and had been the number one movie on the streamer for the two previous weeks), by more than three and a half million views. It’s an impressive stat and that much more so considering the movie wasn’t a huge hit in theaters.
