This movie breaks Netflix records with 38.2 million views

The new Netflix movie, ‘Dominant Predator’, has debuted with impressive figures, achieving 38.2 million views in just three days.

This milestone positions it as one of the best premieres in the history of the platform, standing out among the most anticipated releases of 2026. Directed by Baltasar Kormákur, known for his work on ‘Everest’ and ‘Beast’, the film features a survival thriller starring the stellar Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton.

Dominant in Netflix’s Most Watched

The plot centers on an intense and straightforward confrontation between the characters of Theron and Egerton, who take the viewer through the natural landscapes of Australia, reworking the genre with a clean and direct approach.

However, despite its initial success, ‘Dominant Predator’ has received all kinds of reviews, with a 67% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 6.2 on IMDb. The general consensus points out that it is an entertaining movie, but it fails to stand out among major film productions.

Despite its remarkable start, the true test for the movie will be its ability to maintain its position at the top of viewership over time. Netflix’s recent history has shown that a successful launch does not always guarantee sustained performance; the most recent example is the failure of ‘Electric State’ last year, which, despite high expectations, did not achieve the anticipated success. This underscores the uncertainty about how ‘Dominant Predator’ will perform in the coming weeks and whether it will establish itself as one of Netflix’s great classics.
