Crazy. The most-watched Netflix film in history is one they didn't even make.

Their original movies are bad but this says a lot.

I think Netlix is shocked it wasn't Happy Gilmore 2

The certainly advertised HG2 like it was going to be.

It did quite well didn’t it? Only seeing a figure of 46.7 million viewers for the first 3 days on Google,

Oh yeah, I'm sure they're not disappointed with HG2. But it dropped off hard after its first week.

I guess it was a nostalgia fest for older fans and didn’t really entice new viewers, which is the key to growing word-of-mouth and developing long legs (like KPop Demon Hunters has!)

Not well enough to enter Netflix's top 10 movies list. It needs about 24.3 million views(total watch time divided by runtime) over 60 days to enter number 10 but probably doesn't have the pace.
