This week, Netflix is adding a variety of films to its streaming service, including Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Madame Web, which failed to attract a large audience during its theatrical run earlier this year. Despite starring Dakota Johnson and Sydney Sweeney, the film only earned $43.8 million domestically and $56.4 million internationally. With a combined worldwide total of $100.2 million against an $80 million production budget, Madame Web received mostly negative reviews from critics, earning an 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
In addition to Madame Web, Netflix is adding several other films to its lineup this week, including ‘The Cloverhitch Killer,’ a mystery crime drama from 2018 starring Charlie Plummer. ‘Dumb and Dumber To,’ the long-awaited sequel to the 1994 hit comedy, will also be available for streaming, along with ‘Upgrade,’ a futuristic sci-fi revenge tale from 2018. Netflix’s original animated movie ‘Thelma the Unicorn,’ based on the children’s book of the same name, will premiere on the platform as well.
Among the films already released on Netflix in May are ‘The Matrix Resurrections,’ starring Keanu Reeves, ‘The Great Wall,’ starring Matt Damon, and the original comedy ‘Unfrosted,’ featuring Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, and Jim Gaffigan. With a diverse lineup of films to choose from, Netflix continues to offer a wide range of content for its subscribers to enjoy. Whether viewers are in the mood for action-packed sci-fi or lighthearted animation, there is something for everyone to stream on Netflix this week.
Despite its lackluster performance at the box office, Madame Web may find a new audience on Netflix, where viewers can enjoy the film from the comfort of their own homes. With the convenience of streaming platforms like Netflix, audiences have the freedom to watch films on their own schedule, making it easier to discover hidden gems or revisit old favorites. As more studios turn to streaming services to release their films, viewers can expect to see a wider variety of content available for streaming in the future.
Whether viewers are looking for a thrilling mystery, a silly comedy, or a heartwarming animated adventure, Netflix has something for everyone to enjoy this week. With new releases like Madame Web and ‘Thelma the Unicorn,’ as well as old favorites like ‘Dumb and Dumber To’ and ‘Upgrade,’ there is no shortage of entertainment options available for streaming on Netflix.
