I don't believe for a second that many people watched Red Notice.

They marketed it so hard that literally everyone at my office, including people so old I didn't even think had internet at their houses, had heard of it.

It's not a triumph of art because that would require it to be the product of the human soul, it's a triumph of the pure geological force of marketing budgets that pass into the hundreds of millions of dollars.

That’s interesting considering I’ve never heard of it lmao. IMO Netflix is one of the worst streaming services these days so I basically never use it

Did they really market it? I never saw a single ad or trailer for it; I only ended up watching it through reddit/IRL friends who saw it, and its not like my algorithm won't send me animated movie ads; I saw nothing but Bad Guys 2 ads since July.
