The film Carry-On has made history by achieving an unprecedented level of success on the world's leading streaming platform. This thrilling Christmas movie, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and starring Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, and Jason Bateman, has not only become one of the most-watched English-language films on Netflix but has also set a new record for the longest continuous reign at the top of the daily Top 10 charts.
Achieving such milestones is no small feat. Initially debuting in the all-time Top 10 with over 149 million views within its first four weeks, Carry-On continued to captivate audiences, adding another 17.4 million views by the end of December 2024. Its total viewing time now stands at an impressive 298.7 million hours. With this momentum, Carry-On is poised to surpass other notable Netflix hits like Bird Box and The Adam Project, although it still trails behind Red Notice, which holds the top spot with 230.9 million views.
However, what truly sets Carry-On apart is its remarkable consistency. Between December 14, 2024, and January 3, 2025, the film held the number one position on Netflix’s daily Top 10 charts for an astounding 21 consecutive days. This achievement easily outshines the previous record of 18 days shared by Don’t Look Up and Spenser Confidential. Carry-On was the only film released in 2024 to maintain a streak beyond ten days, showcasing its unparalleled popularity and viewer engagement.
Beyond its impressive view count and chart performance, Carry-On's impact highlights the power of storytelling that resonates deeply with audiences. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of well-crafted narratives that can captivate viewers across diverse demographics. As streaming platforms continue to evolve, Carry-On stands as a shining example of how quality content can achieve both critical acclaim and commercial success. Its legacy will undoubtedly inspire future filmmakers to strive for excellence in their craft.
