When it comes to Die Hard, opinions differ every year as to whether the action hit with Bruce Willis falls into the Christmas film category because it happens to be set at this time of year. Carry-On, which was released on Netflix in December 2024 and gave us a gripping action thriller at the most wonderful time of the year, is now causing similar discussions.
Christmas movie or not, Jaume Collet-Serra’s film struck a chord with Netflix audiences. After staying at number 1 on the film charts for weeks, it is now into the all-time top 10 of the streamer.
Action thriller Carry-On climbs to number 5 in Netflix’s all-time top 10
With 149.4 million views and 298.7 million hours watched Carry-On has climbed to fifth place in the all-time top 10 English-language films on Netflix. This means that the film with Taron Egerton has passed major streaming titles such as Leave the World Behind, The Gray Man and Damsel.
Only the views and hours watched are used for the all-time top 10 within the first 91 days taken into account after publication of the title. Since Carry-On was released on Netflix on December 13, 2024, the film has additional 65 days timeto climb even higher in the rankings. It cannot be ruled out that he may overshadow the reigning places Four Bird Box (157.4 million views) and Three The Adam Project (157.6 million views).
That’s what it’s about: Ethan Kopek (Taron Egerton) spends his days as a security guard at LAX airport half-heartedly after failing the entrance exam for the police academy. On Christmas Eve, however, his boss gives him the chance to prove himself and take over the screening device at the security check. However, the evening goes differently than planned when a traveler (Jason Bateman) wants to smuggle a specific suitcase through security and blackmails Ethan. A dangerous game begins.
