On Tuesday, Netflix shared the news in a tweet, claiming that over 30 million accounts watched the Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler flick in the first three days of its release. The streaming platform also said it was the “biggest opening weekend ever” for a Netflix original film. Netflix also added that 13 million of the accounts were based in the United States and Canada, while the other 17 million were worldwide. The streaming service rarely shares viewership numbers for its films and series, usually keeping those statistics private. According to Variety, if a user has watched 70 percent or more of an episode or film, Netflix counts it as a “view.” Murder Mystery is the second movie Aniston, 50, and Sandler, 52, have made together, following the 2011 romantic comedy Just Go With It. The longtime friends were photographed filming on set in Milan, Italy, in August 2018.
