‘Rebel Ridge’ Puts Up Strong Debut Weekend On Netflix As ‘The Deliverance’ Gains Traction; ‘The Perfect Couple’ Thrills In TV
It appears The Deliverance is picking up steam on Netflix, putting up 21.8M views from September 2 to 8, marking a significant increase from the week prior.
The film has taken a minute to break through with audiences since premiering on August 16, but after marching its way to third place in the last week of the month, it took the second place spot during this interval.

The top title of the week went to Rebel Ridge, which amassed 31.2M views. The thriller, which stars Aaron Pierre, dropped on Netflix on September 6, making this quite an impressive three-day debut. The film has the potential to put up an even bigger audience this week, as it’ll be its first full seven days of availability, which generally works in a title’s favor.
And, of course, The Perfect Couple also tallied its fair share of views on the TV side of things with 20.3M after launching on Thursday. That is a strong debut for a Netflix series and, considering the series and its opening credits dance sequence have gone a bit viral, it stands to reason that The Perfect Couple isn’t going anywhere for at least few weeks.
Elsewhere in TV, Worst Ex Ever fell to second place with 7.2M views, just a small dip from the week prior when it posted over 8M views and took first place. Charlie Cowell’s KAOS managed third place with 5.9M views. Emily in Paris is still going strong, capturing fourth place, while The Umbrella Academy is holding onto tenth.

Selling Sunset Season 8 also premiered last week, though it seems to be off to a bit of a slower start, managing 3M views. That was good enough for sixth place.
Rounding out film, The Union took a hit, halving its viewership to just 8.3M, though that still put it in third place. Teen comedy Incoming, which eked out first place during the previous interval, was down to fifth place with 6M views.
