Netflix Top 10: David Fincher’s ‘The Killer’ Targets No. 1 Debut With Nearly 28 Million Views on Opening Weekend
David Fincher’s “The Killer” scores a solid opening weekend win, debuting on the Netflix Top 10 during the Nov. 6-12 viewing window at No. 1 on the English Films list with 27.9 million total views following its Nov. 10 release date — a good starting performance which makes the film Netflix’s most-viewed title this week.
Starring Michael Fassbender, Tilda Swinton, and Charles Parnell, the film follows an assassin who, after a fateful near-miss, “battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn’t personal,” reads the official logline.
