Apparently, More Than 45 Million People Watched ‘Bird Box’ in Its First Week

Have you watched ‘Bird Box’ on Netflix yet? Whether you liked the movie or not, it definitely made a mark on people – so much so that more than 45 million accounts watched the film within its first week (apparently, that’s a new record!).

In a tweet posted yesterday, @NetflixFilm said, “Took off my blindfold this morning to discover that 45,037,125 Netflix accounts have already watched Bird Box – best first 7 days ever for a Netflix film!”

 

If you think about it, it might even be more than that what with some people sharing their passwords with their loved ones.

While Netflix doesn’t usually share its streaming numbers, Nielsen’s third-party measurement service has estimated that ‘Bright’ garnered 11 million viewers in its first three days and that ‘Stranger Things’ Season 2 garnered 15.8 million viewers in its first three days. Obviously, ‘Bird Box’ is doing much, much better (though Nielsen only measures data in the US).

‘Bird Box’ has garnered mixed reviews, though. Did you like the movie?
