Adam McKay’s climate change satire Don’t Look Up is officially a record breaker, with the title attracting the most viewing hours for a movie in a single week in Netflix’s history.
The pic’s 152.29 million hours watched globally in the week December 27-January 2 is a new high-water mark, the streamer has confirmed to Deadline.
Figures released by Netflix show the Leonardo DiCaprio-Jennifer Lawrence pic already is its third-most-watched film (in its first 28 days) of all time, behind only Bird Box and Red Notice.
While Netflix doesn’t release day-to-day data, Don’t Look Up is likely to be encroaching on the Sandra Bullock movie and could soon take the all-time record away from the crime caper starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds.
On Wednesday, director McKay tweeted that he was “straight up flabbergasted” by the viewing numbers the film was receiving.

Photo: ‘Lulli’ Netflix has its fair share of romantic comedies; while some of those films nail it, others seem to have forgotten how to use the hammer along with the basic rules of its genre. There's a difference between a lighthearted comedy, where its lead character’s problems are not entirely problems, but there is still evident friction for the character to resolve, than having a film that has forgotten the importance of conflict. ‘Lulli’ is a Brazilian romantic comedy film that delivers a predictable plot and set of superficial characters. When watching ‘Lulli,’ you find there is solid pleasure in realizing that the premise is obvious from the start, as it quickly lets you decide if you should continue watching in its first five minutes.
