Cameron Diaz‘s return to acting is going smoothly: “Back in Action,” a new Netflix film starring Diaz alongside Jamie Foxx, was the streamer’s most-watched title during the week of Jan. 13-19. With only three days of availability, the film hit 46.8 million views — the biggest opening weekend for an English-language film on Netflix since “The Adam Project” in March of 2022.
Diaz made another appearance lower down on the Top 10: “Knight and Day,” her 2010 action comedy also starring Tom Cruise, was No. 4 on the English-language films list with 5.2 million views.
“American Primeval” had its second week on top of the English-language TV list with 14.3 million views, this time edging out “Squid Game” Season 2 as the most-watched TV season of the week. (“Squid Game” still topped the non-English language TV list with 13.2 million views.) Close behind “American Primeval” with 14.2 million views was Season 2 of “XO, Kitty,” a spinoff of Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” films. Season 1 also picked up some renewed attention, hitting No. 6 with 3.1 million views.
Limited series “Missing You” had its third week on the chart at No. 3 with 5.6 million views, and was followed by Netflix’s stream of “Raw,” a WWE special that’s part of the streamer’s foray into live sports and hit 3.7 million views. Jerry Springer’s limited series “Fights, Camera, Action” was next with 3.5 million views in its second week on the chart.
