Why $200 Million Could Not Save High Octane ‘The Gray Man’ From Low Budget ‘Purple Hearts&#8217;

Netflix streamed some great movies and shows in the second half of the year. One
of them is The Russo Brothers‘ recent expensive movie, The Gray Man, which is an
action thriller. Another original movie that Netflix streamed is Purple Hearts,
which is a romantic drama. Both the movies belong to the opposite genre and are
competing on Netflix’s Most Viewed Movies of the week. After staying in the
first position for a week, The Gray Man lost its position in the romantic drama.
Let us find out how Purple Hearts beat the $200 million movie with a low budget.


PURPLE HEARTS WINS THE HEARTS OF THE VIEWERS

Netflix’s most viewed movies or shows are based on the amount of time they’ve
engaged their viewers. The expensive $200 million
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-how-the-200-million-the-gray-man-is-threatened-to-be-a-mere-blip-for-netflix/]
budget movie, The Gray Man, released on 22nd July 2022, engaged the viewers for
88 million hours worldwide on the initial weekend. The movie has A-line stars
Ryan Gosling [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-gosling/], Chris Evans, Ana de
Armas, [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ana-de-armas/] Jessica Henwick, Regé-Jean

more.

But as soon as another Netflix original
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/] movie, Purple Hearts,
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/purple-hearts/]streamed on 29th July 2022, it took
over the charts of Netflix’s Most Viewed Movies of the week. This is a great
achievement as it left Jane Austen [https://netflixjunkie.com/?s=jane+austen]‘s
modern movie adaptation of Persuasion as well. The Sea Beast, which stayed at
the top of the list, is now in 6th place.

However, Purple Hearts has just been released on the streaming giant. The movie
stars Sophia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine as the lead actors. They are winning
hearts with their undeniable chemistry

This is how the fans are reacting to their chemistry and the movie.


FANS SHOWER LOVE ON THE #1 MOVIE

Romantic dramas have become cliche now. But Purple Hearts won people’s hearts
and secured the #1 position in the charts
[https://www.indiewire.com/2022/08/netflix-200-million-the-gray-man-8-days-1-1234747061/].
Fans are going crazy over the burning chemistry between the couple on-screen.
Their marriage of convenience turned into a true marriage. That swift change
attracted the viewers.
