Netflix's newest blockbuster has been a major hit with viewers who were curious about the film. This has been a much-needed win for Jennifer Lopez, especially after she had to cancel her entire US tour due to the constant rumors surrounding her marriage to Ben Affleck.
In fact, her film Atlas has been watched a staggering 31.6 million times in just one week, making it the most popular title on the streaming platform for the second week in a row. This is quite impressive, considering the negative reviews it received from critics.
Despite the initial dismal rating of 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, the $100 million movie follows the story of data analyst Atlas Shepherd as she goes on a mission to stop a rogue robot. She must put her distrust of AI aside and rely on an artificial intelligence device when the mission takes a dangerous turn. The star-studded cast includes Oscar nominee Sterling K. Brown, Simu Liu from Marvel, and Mark Strong from Sherlock Holmes and Shazam!.
According to Netflix's site Tudum, Atlas has continued to dominate the global top 10 this week with a whopping 31.6 million views internationally. This is way ahead of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver, which only managed to get 21.4 million views in its first week back in April. The film has a two-hour runtime and has been viewed for a total of 63.1 million hours. Netflix estimates that each account represents two people, so it can be said that the film has already been viewed by 119 million people worldwide, taking into account the figures from both weeks.
The data was collected between May 27 and June 2, with the first week's success only accounting for three full days of the film's release since it came out on Friday, May 24. Atlas has also outperformed other titles currently streaming on the platform, with the animated movie Ice Age: Collision Course coming in second place with 9 million views. Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs came in third with 8.1 million views, and a former number one was in fourth.
Despite the negative reviews from critics, Atlas, starring Jennifer Lopez, has remained at the top of the Netflix charts for the second week in a row with an additional 31 million views. The film also features Oscar nominee Sterling K. Brown as Colonel Banks.
The new Netflix film Mother of the Bride, starring Brooke Shields, Miranda Cosgrove, and Benjamin Bratt, also received negative reviews upon its release, with some viewers even calling it "an AI script." However, it still managed to pull in 6.1 million views this week, surpassing Madame Web, Security, Sing 2, and Transformers: Rise of the Beasts.
This victory for Lopez, who is 54 years old, comes shortly after she made the difficult decision to cancel her entire This Is Me... Now tour. The tour was supposed to kick off in Orlando at the end of June, but Lopez had already canceled several dates due to slow ticket sales. However, amidst ongoing rumors about the state of her marriage, she decided to cancel the entire tour. In a statement, she expressed her sadness and promised to make it up to her fans in the future.
Despite all of this, Lopez has no time to dwell on the negative as she is overjoyed by the continued success of Atlas. She thanked her fans on her website and reminded them that there is still so much love in the world, despite all the negativity. The film is directed by Brad Peyton and has been dubbed a "massive misfire" by critics.
Despite the negative reviews, the film has received a lot of interest from fans, and Lopez couldn't be happier. She shared her excitement in a statement and also shared how grateful she is for the continued support from her fans. In a recent outing, she was seen with co-stars Simu Liu and Sterling K. Brown, putting on a united front with an awkward air kiss.
Fans, on the other hand, have not been as impressed with the film. Some have even expressed their disappointment on social media, with one viewer calling it "really bad" and another saying, "All those amazing cancelled shows. For this." However, the film continues to be a success on Netflix.
