The latest Netflix tentpole movie has almost instantly rocketed to the very top of the service’s most-watched list. Called Heart of Stone, the flick has claimed the No.1 spot just a few days after its streaming debut last Friday (August 11).
This will be very welcome news for Netflix executives as the action movie starring Gal Gadot is reported to have cost the streamer as much as $300 million to produce. What will be less pleasing is its largely negative critical reception. The abundance of negative reviews could be a concerning sign that Heart of Stone will lack staying power once this initial wave of interest fizzles out.
