As reported by CNN, the $200 million-budgeted Red Notice – which sees Johnson starring alongside Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot – has clocked up 329 million viewing hours (although the Rock’s tweet says 392 million), which smashes the previous record of 282 million viewing hours set by the Sandra Bullock-led Bird Box. It took just 18 days to surpass the record, with Netflix claiming that the Rawson Marshall Thurber-directed film has been viewed by 50% of its subscribers.

When an Interpol-issued Red Notice â the highest level warrant to hunt and capture the worldâs most wantedâ goes out, the FBIâs top profiler John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) is on the case. His global pursuit finds him smack dab in the middle of a daring heist where heâs forced to partner with the worldâs greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch the worldâs most wanted art thief, âThe Bishopâ (Gal Gadot). The high-flying adventure that ensues takes the trio around the world, across the dance floor, trapped in a secluded prison, into the jungle and, worst of all for them, constantly into each otherâs company.
Red Notice is available to stream now on Netflix.
