The movie The Rip, released on Netflix on January 16, has captured the audience’s attention with an impressive total of 104 million views in just 24 days.
With a production cost of 100 million dollars, the film stands out as a remarkable success in the platform’s thriller catalog, especially considering that its cost is significantly lower than the nearly 159 million invested in the action-comedy Back in Action, starring Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx.
An intense thriller
Directed and written by Joe Carnahan, The Rip follows the story of a team of police officers in Miami whose trust is compromised after the discovery of a large sum of money in an abandoned hideout.
As the implications of the seizure are revealed, tensions arise within the team, adding an intriguing twist to the narrative and keeping viewers on edge.
The cast of the movie includes well-known actors such as Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Teyana Taylor, Scott Adkins, and Steven Yeun, among others. Additionally, the influence of Damon and Affleck has been felt not only in acting but also in the project’s compensation scheme, as they negotiated an additional bonus for the team based on the film’s performance. Although the exact amount of this bonus remains unknown, it is indicative of the innovative approach that the protagonists are adopting in the film industry.
The success of The Rip could impact future productions from Netflix and the way profits are distributed in the film industry. For now, viewers can enjoy this intriguing story on the streaming platform, which continues to expand its offerings with attractive and quality content.
