Before the era of streaming, the box office window was the ultimatum. But in the last few years, even the projects that could not blossom during their theatrical lap have found new life with their streaming debuts. And amidst Netflix’s rollercoaster of a spring break, a 2018 adventure flick by Albert Hughes is climbing up the charts like no tomorrow.

So, for those curious with countless questions, here is the Netflix scoop.
