Success: Extraction is Netflix’s most-watched original film of all time. Chris is seen in the film
Extraction is Netflix’s most-watched original film of all time.
The 2020 mercenary-gone-rogue movie beat out Sandra Bullock’s 2018 post-apocalyptic thriller Birdbox on the popular streaming service.
Extraction has been viewed by 99 million Netflix accounts within the first month of its release, according to CNet.
It also beat the critically-acclaimed fantasy series The Witcher, which is based off the popular book series and video game.

However, Netflix’s numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt, as a ‘view’ is counted after only two minutes of play time.
For Extraction, this means the film could be considered watched by Netflix’s algorithm even before the viewer heard a single line of spoken dialogue.
In May, Chris said a ‘massive thank you to everyone that checked out Extraction’ and ‘made it the number 1 film’ on the streaming platform.
Chris, who is now based in Byron Bay with wife Elsa Pataky and their family, has had a rapid rise to fame after his humble beginnings on the likes of Neighbours, The Saddle Club and Home and Away.
He is now known for films including Thor and Snow White and the Huntsman.
