From Box Office Flop to Streaming Sensation: Unveiling the Unbelievable Success of Michael Fassbender's Infamous Film After 7 Years

The Assassin's Creed movie, starring Michael Fassbender, has found a new lease on life on Netflix. Despite being a flop at the box office, the film has now joined the Top 10 titles on Netflix's global English-language movie chart. It has achieved this feat in 41 different territories and has accumulated an impressive 5,400,000 viewing hours, placing it at No. 5 on the chart. Surprisingly, it has even surpassed the recently released Jennifer Lopez action movie, The Mother.

Netflix Has Proven Their Power To Create Hits From Older Movies

Assassin's Creed viewership numbers demonstrate that Netflix still possesses the ability to influence audience preferences, despite recent challenges to its dominance in the streaming industry. This success is not an isolated incident, as evidenced by the performance of 2017's The Snowman, which achieved the top position on the movie chart after struggling to recover its production costs during its theatrical release. The film's arrival on Netflix effectively overshadowed its previous underwhelming box office performance and negative reception, including a mere 6 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The availability of Assassin's Creed on Netflix could potentially contribute to its further rise in popularity, particularly if it becomes more closely linked to the streaming platform's Assassin's Creed series. The movie's inclusion on Netflix is likely due to the upcoming project, and if significant updates are revealed in the near future, it has the potential to become an even greater success online.
