People may remember 2024 for many reasons, but in La La Land, the year will go down in history due to the revival of the culture of blockbusters. After the pandemic, concerns have been plenty over the countless box office busts, but this trip around the sun was a refresher, with a cinematic climax poised on the horizon. Although Netflix had its fair share of setbacks with the industry’s top dogs slamming its release brochure, the streamer is famous for pulling up its sock even at the direst of times. To help it achieve the same, Jason Bateman recently lent it a helping hand with Carry-On.

From rave reviews to record-shattering achievements, the Bateman-led flick is a cue for Netflix to carry on, no matter what.

According to What’s On Netflix, Jason Bateman’s holiday flick, Carry-On, earned the biggest opening week on Netflix in 2024 with a whopping 42 million views. Carry-On is currently trending atop the list of every Top 10 movie charts worldwide, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Germany, India, Mexico, New Zealand, and Spain on December 17. With 924 points, Carry-On is #1 on the Global Top 25 Movies list.

The film’s festive debut was already set to sparkle, but its Netflix feat has fans masquerading as critics, lavishing praise instead of scorn.

Actors shed and don many skins in one lifetime to meet work commitments. Yet, only a select few can surprise fans even after making them feel they have probably seen it all in their illustrious career. Although Jason Bateman has been a star for four decades, Netflix’s Carry-On compelled fans to bow down to the actor because the flick was a first-hand testimony of his range. Fans who thought of him as the savior were caught off-guard by his villainous transformation.

Many fans attended the thread after watching the flick, authenticating the popularity with their own glowing reviews.

A few folks believe Carry-On deserves the Netflix achievement because it lives up to the record it just set. Although 2024 has not experienced a draught in cinematic unfoldings, blockbusters were not exactly on par with the number of releases. The streamer even had its bad days, with many undermining the potential of a streaming release as opposed to a traditional, theatrical debut. Still, Bateman has single-handedly turned the tables, and Netflix finally brings a welcome closure.
