Maika Monroe has significantly raised her profile with what was probably The worst horror film in 2024 "Longles". The film by director Ozgud Perkins, who has just delivered the adaptation of Steven King's monkey, was a modest sensation when he arrived last summer, stimulated partly by Marketing campaign that did everything as it should do the Longles Hit. Although the film was not in line with the frankly unreasonable amount of excitement that built this marketing campaign, it was a big enough hit that not only made the Neon distributor feel like a new rival A24 worthy of the label, she introduced a wider audience with both Perkins and Monroe.

In the case of Monroe, the Australian actress gained a certain role for her role in 2014 "It follows", one of the best horror films of the 2000s - even if it does not glue the landing with its split end. Since then, however, Monroe has struggled to break through, despite some decent spins in otherwise movies. 2022 "Nakinger", for example, saw her leading the slow burning thriller, which was, as he wrote /film Chris Evangelista in his review, briefly for real excitement. The film by Chloe Okuno was followed by Monroe, Iaulia, a young American who moved to Bucharest just to become more unsaturated than the voyeurist neighbor in the housing block opposite her new Romanian home.

Originally shown at Sundance 2022, Watcher struck Theaters in the United States on June 3, the same year and earned positive reviews. With a $ 5 million budget, IC's films were likely to hope the "fuzzer" would make more than $ 3.2 million Brought to the box office, but it was actually a decent return for an independent film with a limited theater rock on 764 US screens. However, more people certainly had to be given a chance to see this otherwise neglected psychological effort for horror, so it is good to see the film find an audience of streaming, where he worked up in the most watched Netflix charts.

Watcher may not have been a hit on Longles, but enjoyed a few successes. In addition to being nominated for the big jury award in Sundance, the film earned IC films with the biggest open weekend ever, according to The deadline. Now, American audiences have been offered a chance to rethink Netflix film, which is an offer that they have apparently accepted seriously.

"Watcher" hit Netflix on February 25, 2025 and has already proven to be a modest hit for Strimmer. According to FlixpatrolA page that follows viewing numbers in the view through various services, Watcher debuted on the number three of the Netflix Film Film Table on February 26 and remained there the next day. The only other country where the film is available on Netflix is ​​Iceland, where Watcher recently is also displaying, starting from the number three on February 21, before falling to eighth on February 26, and dropping out of graphs the next day.

Although this may not be the global success that something enjoys as Cameron Diaz's first film in 11 years, "Back in Action", dominated by Netflix charts Last month, with the number one site in 92 countries, the Watcher is not an original Netflix, and was therefore not available in all Strimmer markets when it hit the service. As such, the number three day after Netflix hit is a pretty good outcome for the film, which looks like it can stick to the whole - that is if it can direct the match.

During writing, Netflix's film tables are dominated by "Venom: The Last": Tom Hardy's "Last Dance", which also hit the service on February 25, 2025 and was immediately found at number one. However. "Watcher" probably achieved the larger feat, similarly debuting on the charts on February 26 on number three despite the audience generally familiar with the film. Even with its poor grade of 40% of rotten tomatoes, the "last dance" is A. $ 474 million A blockbuster with a well -known character Marvel stimulates its popularity. The host, meanwhile, is a slightly known independent psychological horror film that made less than its budget during the 2022 limited theater flow. As such, the number three of Netflix graphs is quite an achievement.

If Maika Monroe's film can keep its place and even usurp the superhero flask of Hardy, it will be nothing less than a triumph. To do this, however, will have to send it and Funny adventure "Dungeons and Dragons: Honor among Thieves" which is currently number two in the United States that can be more intense than taking the poison, as that fantasy film has a result of 91% RT. However, Watcher boasts 88%, which is much better than the typical things we see on the surface of Top of these Netflix rankings - Kevin Hart's "lift" Being just one example of many.

As such, "Watcher" can only surprise us all with its performance on Netflix over the coming weeks. Critics liked the film, starring Longlegs, and is not Kevin Hart's "lift", so there are many things that work in its favor.
