Looking back at the movies that reigned supreme on Netflix&#039;s streaming charts this past week

This Jennifer Aniston Led Flick Dominates Netflix Top 10 Chart This Week Leaving ‘Rebel Moon’ Far Behind

In the 90s, Jennifer Aniston
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jennifer-aniston/] became the undisputed
queen of Hollywood after being catapulted to eternal stardom with her remarkable
portrayal of Rachel in Friends. After achieving her sitcom glory, she brought
the same charisma to the silver screen through a spectrum of roles,
predominantly in rom-coms. Most of her illustrious flicks and series are
available on Netflix’s streaming platforms. While the OTT giant has launched a
sleuth of Netflix original flicks this year, one among her many works has
reigned supreme.  

Not only did it place at the top, but it also left behind the much-hyped Rebel
Moon among other films.


NOTHING COULD BEAT THIS QUINTESSENTIAL JENNIFER ANISTON COMEDY

Based on Netflix’s report of viewing numbers for the week of December 18-25,
What’s on Netflix presented the findings to its X (previously Twitter) page.
According to the report, Murder Mystery 2 starring Aniston and Adam Sandler had
garnered 42.9 million views, placing it at the top of the list. Meanwhile, Rebel
Moon is currently falling behind in the tenth place with a measly 23.9 million
views to its name. 

> REBEL MOON debuts after 4 days with 23.9M views.

> For comparison in roughly the same time period:
> 
> – Murder Mystery 2 – 42.9M
> – The Mother – 42.9M
> – Leave the World Behind – 41.7M
> – Heart of Stone 33.1M

It looks like the Zack Snyder-directed flick which initially made a lot of buzz
by dethroning Bradley Cooper’s Maestro
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-zack-snyder-leads-rebel-moon-as-it-beats-bradley-cooper-maestro-in-netflix-charts/]
on Netflix’s charts has not fared well over time. This is also evident through
the massively underwhelming 24% approval rating it received on Rotten Tomatoes.
On the other hand, Aniston and Sandler’s second installment of the timeless
Murder Mystery comedy showed no signs of stopping.

Not to forget how another film in the top 5 carried Aniston’s Friends character
as its central theme.


HOW RACHEL AND ROSS STOLE THE SPOTLIGHT IN THIS JULIA ROBERTS-LED FLICK

A character so iconic that her haircut alone became a cultural phenomenon,
Aniston’s Friends character, Rachel, is a sitcom legend; especially due to her
nail-biting romance saga with David Schwimmer’s Ross. This fact was also
reflected in the dystopian thriller Leave the World Behind, which stood fourth
on Netflix’s chart. In it, Julia Roberts’ character’s daughter was solely
focused on the fate of Rachel and Ross as the world ended.

Earlier this month, the flick’s director also explained why he chose to bring
Friends into the mix
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-julia-roberts-led-leave-the-world-behind-has-friends-at-the-heart-of-the-dystopian-thriller-director-reveals/].
Spoiler ahead! Not only did the flick highlight Friends’ Ross-and-Rachel
storyline as the perfect comfort watch, but also ended with a somewhat happy
ending as the young girl finally managed to get her hands on the sitcom’s
finale. This just goes to show the immense impact Aniston’s character has had on
generations of audiences.

Looking back at the movies that reigned supreme on Netflix's streaming charts this past week, including this Jennifer Aniston flick at No.1.

Ibadat Kaur, a Hollywood News writer at Netflix Junkie, has writ over 500+ copies on the latest updates of celebrities like Ryan Reynolds and Henry Cavill. Kaur also delves into sling form copies around the nuances of series. One example of this is her piece on Sex Education Season 4 where she talked about how the show turned a hated character like Aimee into one loved by many. Away from work, her time spent training her dog, Raven, keeps her going.
