Ryan Reynolds just can't seem to miss. It doesn't matter if it's on a streaming platform or in theaters, his movies are a guaranteed hit.
Case in point, The Adam Project. After working with Shawn Levy with last year's Free Guy, which got a sequel almost immediately after hitting theaters, the two teamed up again for a Netflix-exclusive sci-fi adventure film, The Adam Project. Although the expectations were almost always high with Reynolds, as well as the 13 going 30 on-screen couple, Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo, in tow, The Adam Project is blowing past all expectations.
According to Deadline, The Adam Project just scored itself the 3rd-highest debut for a Netflix original movie. Using hours watched within the first week as a metric, the film pulled in 92.4 million hours a week after debuting last March 11. The Adam Project now ranks just behind last year's hit satire film, Don't Look Up (111 million hours watched) and Red Notice (148.7 million hours watched), which is another Reynolds movie that's set to get back-to-back sequels.
However, unlike the two aforementioned films, which got heavy marketing in the lead up to their premieres, The Adam Project received relatively little attention outside of aSuper Bowl LVI trailer.
