these days of Netflix Above all, they are talking about the tremendous audience success that ‘Wednesday’ is getting, but that should not make us leave aside the incredible record that ‘Trol’ breaks, well has shattered the record for the best opening of a film not spoken in English on the platform.
What an outrage
‘Trol’ has debuted on Netflix adding 75.86 million hours played, data never seen in a film not spoken in English. To give you an idea, the most viewed is ‘Blood Red Sky’ with 110.52 million hours in 28 days, while this Norwegian production has added 75.86 in just 4 days. And it is that he only needed that time to sneak into the eighth historical position. An atrocity.
In fact, that awesome boot of ‘Trol’ places it in the league of some of the most important films on the platform this year. For example, ‘Enola Holmes 2’ debuted with 64.08 million in three days and ‘Garra’ with 84.58 in five days. That is equivalent to surely not entering the historical Top 10 -right now ‘My first kiss 2’ closes it with 209.25 million hours in 28 days-, but it will not stay that far either.
What is clear is that ‘Troll’ has been a historic success for Netflix and an important step forward for non-English-speaking films on the platform. Does this mean that we will have a sequel? The end of the film directed by Roar Utah (‘Tomb Raider’) leaves the door open to it…
