It may have been slaughtered by critics, but Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire was comfortably the most-watched title over the holiday season among UK Netflix subscribers.
Zack Snyder‘s space opera was watched by 16.5M people over the seven days after its December 21 launch, according to official UK streaming ratings provided by overnights.tv.
The performance, which includes viewing across mobile devices, will almost certainly put Rebel Moon among the best-performing titles on Netflix in the UK last year.
The British figure is supported by Netflix’s global data, which shows that Snyder’s sci-fi epic had nearly 24M views in its first four days.
Back in the UK, Rebel Moon was more than 10M viewers ahead of Ricky Gervais‘ Armageddon stand-up special, which by no means performed poorly.
The comedy show was watched by 6M Brits in the week after its December 25 premiere, according to overnights.tv, which takes its data from Barb, the UK’s official audience research body.
Critics did not consider Armageddon to be among Gervais’ finest stand-up work, but he continues to be an audience banker for Netflix.
The other film that had a strong showing on Netflix in December was Leave the World Behind. The dystopian thriller starring Julia Roberts was streamed by nearly 9M Brits in its first seven days.
