The Netflix top 10 chart is always changing, and today it's a bit unusual with two "awesome" movies from the Sniper franchise near the top. Despite this unpredictability, some releases, like Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon, have gone according to plan and held the number one spot since its December 22 debut, drawing in fans and subscribers worldwide.
At times, viewing behaviors seem more unpredictable. Despite Netflix's efforts to promote Bradley Cooper's Maestro as a potential Oscars contender, it quickly dropped from the charts while many Americans are still watching The Super Mario Bros Movie and Gran Turismo. Following Christmas, it seems that subscribers are now hooked on a new set of low-budget action films from the Sniper franchise.
Two Sniper movies climb Netflix top 10 chart
Sniper: Assassin’s End and Sniper: Ultimate Kill have reached the podium of Netflix’s top 10 movies. You can check out the full chart below:
Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire
Sniper: Assassin’s End
Sniper: Ultimate Kill
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Leave the World Behind
The Christmas Chronicles
Family Switch
Gran Turismo
Holiday in the Vineyards
The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two
Ultimate Kill and Assassin’s End mark the seventh and eighth installments in the enduring Sniper franchise, featuring Chad Michael Collins as Master Sergeant Brandon Beckett, an elite sniper tasked with eliminating high-value targets. Following in the footsteps of their predecessors, except for the initial 1993 release, both films went straight to DVD and on-demand. Yet, Netflix's recent acquisition of multiple entries has propelled them to the top of the charts, trailing only behind Rebel Moon.

Editor's P/S

As a fan, I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiments expressed on Twitter and believe that the Sniper franchise deserves its place among the top-performing movies on Netflix.
