The Netflix action entertainer Extraction is turning out to be a blockbuster for the platform. It has raked in massive numbers across the globe, but it is the additional Indian viewership, which has pushed it to the top.
The Chris Hemsworth starrer has reportedly been watched by over 90 million people globally. It is the most prominent film premiere for the platform in recent time. A significant chunk for the same has come from the Indian subcontinent.
In its opening weekend itself, Extraction has found a place at the fourth place among the top ten digital shows. The other three were holdover titles. It highlights the penetration of the content and also the publicity the team has given. The movie was simultaneously showcased in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu along with English original.
The availability of well-promoted action movie with known Indian faces in local languages is the most significant reason for the reach. Also, Chris Hemsworth has become a known face among the Indian youth with his iconic Thor appearance in the Avengers movies.
No wonder the makers are going ahead with a sequel. Joe Russo, the creative brain behind the project, has made it clear. One wonder’s if the setting would remain the same or if there would be a change.
