Netflix again turns the former theater flop into a streaming hit. 2019 "don't let go", starring Oscar, David Ojelovo ("Selma") and Storm Reed ("Wrinkles in Time"), found his audience more than five years after failing to catch him during The first edition. This is an interesting case when success can be better late than never.

"Don't let" rise through the top 10 most watched Netflix films from late and is currently sitting on the number four of Strimmer's charts, after Flixpatrol. It is even treated above other originals of Netflix, such as "Kinda Pregnant" and "Crasher for Honey Month". Not bad for a $ 5 million budget film that made just $ 5 million to the box office in late summer 2019. But that is the power of Netflix, which generates more income than the entire global treasurer combined.

For those who may not be familiar, the film was written and directed by Jaceacob Aaron Estes. It focuses on the detective Jackeck Radcliffe (Oilovo), who gets a surprising phone call from his recently killed granddaughter Ashley (Storm Reed). The couple then has to work together, working at different points of time so they can solve her murder before it happened.

Sci-fi/thriller was produced by Blumhouse, the studio known best for horror films such as "Exits" and "Purification". Blumhouse tends to make low prices for films that have a great chance of making a profit. This was published partly by BH Tilt, now a non -existent distribution label that the studio saw how he was trying to get into that part of the business. At that time, that distribution cube did not serve this film especially well. In the world of streaming, old things can become new again.

One of the benefits of the Blumhouse model is that a lower investment means even when the film loses money, they are not serious. Conversely, a movie like "The Dark Tower", which has also recently found an audience of Netflix years after breaking through In theaters, it was far more expensive. Even with success in streaming and whatever the income that brings, making the difference be difficult. On the other hand, "don't let" just cost $ 5 million with minimal marketing consumption. VOD and now streaming can absolutely get such a red film.

"With the burst of punishment of violence that ultimately borders cruelty," Religion "is a formular, surprisingly gloomy thriller that may have worked better as a TV series", "" /Film Ben Pearson wrote in a 2019 film review (back when he was titled "Relive"). He was not alone; Critics were quite mixed with the film in their time, as it can currently boast a 43% rating of "Roten Tomatoes".

However, the audience clearly enjoys it. However, for Ben's point, it seems to be progressing on the small screen when it fails in cinemas. It is always strange to see how certain films succeed in the streaming landscape, while others do not. A company like Netflix can spend a fortune on a blockbuster here today, no tomorrow. However, a small thriller like this, the one who could risk being lost by time, receives the day of court.

You can also grab "don't let" on Blu-ray or DVD from Amazon.
