Manifest season finale crash and burn
Manifest he returned last week for his last few episodes (unless he gets the spin-off the creator wants), and the numbers are bad.
Since it’s a split release, Netflix aggregates the number of hours watched for all Season 4 episodes in the past week, which means watching S4A episodes released in November and new episodes. That last season was supersized with 20 episodes and if we look at the number of hours watched, the bad start of season 4B is quite noticeable.

Basically, last week’s viewing hours of all 20 Season 4 episodes (including 10 new ones) of Manifest it only represented 70% of the hours watched in the first 10 episodes of the season released in November.

A beautiful life and rich in love 2 have contrasting debuts
Last week Netflix released two international romance movies and they had quite contrasting releases. The first is the Danish romantic musical film A beautiful lifewhich scored the third best launch for a Netflix international film opening on a Thursday with 10.2 million CVEs.

On the other hand, the Brazilian sequel rich in love 2 it had a pretty bad launch, especially since it’s a sequel with only 2.6 million CVEs during its opening weekend, making it the worst launch of any Latin American Netflix movie released on a Friday.
