Cameron Diaz’s 'Back in Action' Becomes Netflix's Biggest English-Language Film Debut Since 2022

The action-comedy starring Diaz and Jamie Foxx garnered 46.8 million views in its opening weekend, topping Netflix's global charts in 85 countries.

Released on January 17, 'Back in Action' achieved 46.8 million views and 88.9 million hours streamed in its first three days, marking the largest debut for an English-language Netflix film since 'The Adam Project' in 2022.
The film topped Netflix's weekly global charts, surpassing popular titles like 'The Secret Life of Pets 2' and 'Knight and Day,' which also featured Cameron Diaz.
Despite receiving largely negative reviews with a 26% Rotten Tomatoes score, the film’s strong viewership signals audience enthusiasm for Diaz's return to acting after a decade-long hiatus.
In the film, Diaz and co-star Jamie Foxx play former CIA operatives forced out of retirement, marking their third collaboration after 'Any Given Sunday' and 'Annie.'
Diaz’s Hollywood comeback includes upcoming projects such as 'Outcome' with Keanu Reeves and a confirmed role in 'Shrek 5,' slated for release in December 2026.
