While recent hits like the festive rom-com “Meet Me Next Christmas” and the underwhelming thriller “Time Cut” have been holding their ground in Netflix’s top 10, a surprising contender has surged back into the spotlight: the 2022 action-adventure blockbuster “The Lost City”. It has quickly shot up the ranks since arriving on Netflix on November 9, now holding the No. 2 spot — and it’s well on its way to claiming the top position.

Starring Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, “The Lost City” delivers a wildly entertaining adventure that embraces well-known formulas of the genre in a creative, fun manner. Upon its release, this crowd-pleaser made waves, earning nearly $200 million worldwide. Despite competing with superhero epics and action franchises at the box office, “The Lost City” proved that audiences still crave lighthearted escapades infused with a good dose of comedy.
