The Staggering Amount Of Time Netflix Viewers Spent Watching The Bubble’s Debut

According to netflix’s own viewing data, viewers have spent well over 12 million hours watching “The Bubble” on the streaming service. This puts the film at No. 2 on its top 10 list, just under the Ryan Reynolds smash hit “The Adam Project.” Clearly, viewers were not put off by the negative reception to the film at all, and once again, netflix has something of a hit to add to their long list of successful original films.

It’s hardly surprising that “The Bubble” is doing well. Once again, it costs subscribers nothing but their time and the money that they’re already paying for a subscription anyway. Plus, the film has a pretty big ensemble cast, with the likes of Karen Gillan, Pedro Pascal, Leslie Mann, and Fred Armisen just being a few of the bigger names attached to the project. It’ll be interesting to see if “The Bubble” can maintain high numbers in the coming days and weeks, or if its poor reception from critics catches up with it sooner rather than later. Either way, this is another big success story for netflix and director Judd Apatow.
