Extraction to become Netflix's biggest movie?

Netflix's Extraction is on track to becoming the biggest movie ever made by the streaming network. It has been less than two weeks since the action film starring Chris Hemsworth was released, and is already a huge success.

Extraction follows a soldier turned black market mercenary named Tyler Rake (Chris Hemsworth), who is tasked with the job of rescuing the son of a powerful drug lord after he is kidnapped and held for ransom by a rival organization. However, the mission becomes complicated, and Rake is forced to navigate the underground world of drug trafficking and weapon smuggling while fighting off rival mercenaries and a corrupt police force.

The film features intense and violent action sequences, including a 12-minute "oner." Director Sam Hargrave is known for his work as a stunt coordinator, so the exceptional action scenes are no surprise.

Extraction is extremely popular among Netflix users, something the streaming platform is very proud of. Netflix, notorious for being private about how well their shows or movies are doing, announced on Twitter that a projected 90 million households will watch Extraction in its first four weeks. This would make the film Netflix's biggest premiere to-date.

Meanwhile, star Chris Hemsworth took to Instagram to show his appreciation for the success of the movie. He thanked everyone who watched the film to make it the number one movie in the world and said "who knows" to rumors of possible prequels or sequels to the film.
