In a shake-up to Netflix‘s All-Time Top 10 list, “Carry-On,” the thriller starring Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, is now the #5 most-watched English-language film in its first 91 days on the service.
In the process, “Carry-On” bumped Rian Johnson’s “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Story” from the Top 10. Johnson will get his chance to rectify that with “Wake Up Dead Man” arriving later this year.
“Carry-On” debuted on the all-time Top 10 with 149.4 million views, and it managed to do so in less than four weeks, so it still has a chance to keep climbing. For its fourth consecutive week, the film directed by Jauma Collet-Serra has topped the weekly film list, notching another 17.4 million views during the week of December 30.
It’s an impressive feat considering “Carry-On” is a Christmas movie, a thriller about a TSA agent scrambling to prevent a terrorist attack after a criminal mastermind threatens him to ensure that a suitcase passes by security without detection. It’s essentially “Die-Hard” at the airport.
“Carry-On” is just one of two Netflix films from 2024 to crack the Top 10, the other being the Millie Bobby Brown fantasy action film “Damsel,” which now sits at #8 on the all-time list.
“Carry-On” wasn’t the only shake-up to an all-time list. “Squid Game” Season 2, which last week managed to hit #7 on the all-time non-English series list after just a week on the service, has already rocketed to #2 behind only the original “Squid Game.” With another 58.2 million views in its second week, the Korean drama now has 126.2 million views lifetime, which is not even half of what Season 1 did in its first 90 days.
Elsewhere, Netflix now says roughly 50 million people have watched Beyoncé’s performance during the NFL Christmas game halftime show. And two Warner Bros. movies also landed on Netflix’s weekly Top 10 list for the week of Dec. 30, “Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1” (#7, 4 million views) and “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” (#9, 3.8 million views).
