Purple Hearts is unexpectedly becoming the Netflix movie of summer scoring more than 100 million hours in its second week. In the course to enter the 10 best Netflix films of all time, why does the film act so well? Tiktok can have a lot to do with that.
Certainly they are not the reviews of critics that encourage people to see purple hearts. At the time of writing the film, the film only has 38% in rottenomatoes, and many praise chemistry on the screen but criticize the main plot or some of the themes. Some of the most extreme criticisms have criticized the film for fetishizing the military.
Our own review of the film was not particularly friendly, concluding that it had “a romance not won for two spectacularly defective people who end in family territory for most television movies.” Given the themes of the film, it can be easy to conclude that the popularity of the film has simply exploded in Central America, where the tastes of Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias thrive, but that is not the case.
According to Raw Top 10 data from Flixpatrol, the popularity of the film has been great worldwide. So how popular the movie is? It is ongoing to become one of Netflix’s largest films according to the data per hour of the Netflix Top 10 site. If we observe what the follow -up is like, it has collected 150.82 million hours observed in its first two weeks on the platform with week 2 obtaining more than 100 million hours.
| Week Period | Hours Viewed(M) | Week Rank | Weeks in Top 10 |
|---|---|---|---|
| July 24th, 2022 to July 31st, 2022 | 48,230,000 | 2 | 1 |
| July 31st, 2022 to August 7th, 2022 | 102,590,000 (+113%) | 1 | 2 |
Before we look at where the movie could land in the overall top 10s. Here’s a reminder of what the top 10 English language movies are as of August 10th:
- Red Notice (364,020,000 Hours)
- Don’t Look Up (359,790,000 Hours)
- Bird Box (282,020,000 Hours)
- The Adam Project (233,160,000 Hours)
- Extraction (231,340,000 Hours)
- The Gray Man (223,930,000 Hours)
- The Unforgivable (214,700,000 Hours)
- The Irishman (214,570,000 Hours)
- The Kissing Booth 2 (209,250,000 Hours)
- 6 Underground (205,470,000 Hours)
If we compare his career with other films, he can see that he is ongoing to overcome the unforgivable in the 10 main generals, assuming that we do not see a massive fall between weeks 3 and 4. At this time, we are predicting the movie A is probably Somewhere between 5 and 7 once they have finished the first 28 days.
So why is purple hearts going so well? Tiktok could be playing an important role. Short clips on the platform range from a few hundred thousand views until they get more than 10 million visits. Unlike publications for the recent resident of evil, Tiktoks are not jokingly either. All are sincere reactions to some of the most moving moments in the film.
