‘The Rip’ Scores Netflix’s Best Film Debut Since ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ With 41.6 Million Views

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck’s “The Rip” debuted to an impressive audience in its opening weekend, scoring Netflix’s biggest film debut since “Happy Gilmore 2.”

After premiering on the streamer on Jan. 16, “The Rip” scored 41.6 million views in its first three days, marking the biggest opening viewership for a Netflix film since “Happy Gilmore 2,” which debuted with 46.7 million views, the biggest U.S. opening weekend viewership of all-time for a Netflix film.

Viewership for “The Rip” almost doubled that of “People We Meet on Vacation,” which took the No. 2 spot on the film list for the week of Jan. 12. The romantic comedy tallied up 23.3 million views in its second week on the streamer, growing from the 17.2 million views it logged during its debut week, but slipping from the No. 1 spot on the top 10 list.

As Netflix kept the “Stranger Things” train going with “One Last Adventure: The Making of Stranger Things 5,” the documentary scored 8.7 million views in its first week on the streamer, landing in the No. 3 spot on the top 10 film list. It was enough to outpace fan-favorite “KPop Demon Hunters,” which spent its 31st week in the top 10 in the No. 4 spot with 7.3 million views.
