Going through crucial backlash and less-than-stellar phrase of mouth, it’s now at #3. So as to add to the ignominy, what changed it was the Gerard Butler thriller “Final Seen Alive,” which had a short run as a direct-to-VOD launch in Could.
In current weeks, Netflix originals “Lou,” “Finish of the Highway,” “Me Time,” Day Shift,” and “Look Each Methods” all spent extra time atop its movie-watching chart.
