By In just three days, the murder-mystery sequel “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” amassed 82.1 million hours of viewing on Netflix’s platform over the Christmas holiday, which corresponds to 35 million households streaming it.
The movie “Glass Onion” had a brief run in theatres the month before it was released on Netflix on December 23.
In second place after this summer’s “The Gray Man,” the movie had one of the strongest initial streaming performances of the year for Netflix (88.6M).
Following the success of the original “Knives Out” for Lionsgate in 2019, Netflix paid $450 million for the rights to two sequels, the first of which is titled “Glass Onion.”
Thus, “Glass Onion” may still be headed for significant rating success on Netflix.
With 117.6 million hours seen in its first five days of availability, “Emily in Paris” Season 3 debuted on Netflix during the week of Dec. 19–25, climbing to No. 2 on the English-language TV chart.
The Lily Collins-starring dramedy is a heavyweight for Netflix; the first season spent five weeks in the Top 10, but Season 3 is already exceeding it with 10 million more viewing hours than Season 2’s debut.
It’s also noteworthy that “Emily in Paris” Season 1 ranked No. 10 this week with 11.5 million hours as viewers rewatched or discovered it for the first time.
