It's official: Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Time is a hit. According to Netflix the sci-fi spectacular generated an impressive 23.9 million views in its first three days of streaming, a result that The Hollywood Reporter says is a "solid kickoff for the movie". That puts it comfortably at the top of the global Netflix movie streaming chart, ahead of both Leave The World Behind and Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.
That should make Netflix feel reassured about its investment: after all, it's also committed not just to a second movie, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, but to extended Snyder cuts too. Despite fairly mixed reviews it looks like the franchise is off to a pretty stellar start.
