Ryan Reynolds’ ‘The Adam Project’ Becomes Third Most Watched Netflix Movie

The Adam Project follows a time-traveling fighter pilot who accidentally crash-lands in 2022.

Ryan Reynold’s The Adam Project hit the streaming giant on March 11 and, in a few days only, the latest Netflix movie grossed big viewership numbers. According to Netflix, the family-friendly movie scored 92.4 million hours viewed, becoming the third-biggest opening weekend.

However, the only movies to boast bigger debuts since the new metrics began were Red Notice, starring Reynolds opposite Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot, and Adam McKay’s star-studded Don’t Look Up as reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Red Notice went on to rank No. 1 on the list of the most viewed Netflix films in their first 28 days. Netflix has backlogged the top 10 most-watched movies of each week going back to June 28-July 3, 2021, despite the fact that the streamer announced the charts in early November.

The Adam Project‘s first weekend ranks behind the first frame of the Dwyane Johnson-Gal Gadot-Reynolds heist movie Red Notice (148.7M hours watched for the week ending Nov. 14, 2021) and Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up (111M for the week ending Dec. 26) and also ahead of The Kissing Booth 3 (90.8M for week ending Aug. 15, 2021). This is all on the week’s most-watched English language movie chart.

Meanwhile, in August, the delayed 20th Century Studios title Free Guy, directed by Levy and starring Reynolds, was a big breakout hit for original fare on the big screen as the box office was coming out of the pandemic, grossing $121.6M domestic and $331.5M global as per Deadline.
