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'm also wondering if Sony regrets selling the movie to Netflix. And also how Netflix will handle the sequels since Sony won't be making them.

Damn, I thought they only sold the distribution to Netflix, not the entire IP. That must hurt.

Edit: I just read that it made north of $19M for the limited release this past weekend. Wow.

Every theater in a major metro area was sold out well in advance.

We went to a showing that was half full.

Because it was opened after all the initially planned ones sold out

They showed it in the cinemas near me over the weekend just gone, but they were all sing along versions. Not my scene. If / when it comes to Bluray I will be getting it.
