This performance sparked speculation about whether it would go down as one of Snyder’s colossal disappointments. In a contrasting scenario, Jennifer Aniston’s Murder Mystery 2, a comedy-action drama, continued to reign over the Netflix charts. Its enduring dominance despite belonging to the comedy genre, showcased the film’s appeal and sustained popularity among audiences.

Its absence from Netflix’s top 5 viewing chart was a cause for concern among fans and industry observers alike, leaving many pondering the trajectory it might take in the upcoming weeks. However, it’s essential to note that Rebel Moon enjoyed some advantages over its competitors. The film premiered during prime time hours in the USA on a Thursday, strategically tapping into a potentially larger audience base.

Moreover, its release coincided with the festive period, likely drawing in more viewers during the holiday season. However, these advantages seem to have been overshadowed by critical reception. The movie’s tepid performance with critics, marked by a low Rotten Tomatoes score of 21%, raises doubts about its potential to burgeon into a successful franchise.

While Snyder’s devoted fan base lauded the film in their usual fervor, the broader audience appeared to find the narrative uninspiring. The looming question remains whether Rebel Moon will rise to meet the high expectations set by fans or stumble as a colossal flop. As the days progress, the movie’s fate will gradually unfold, shedding light on the unanswered queries surrounding its commercial and critical success.
