For the week of March 9th – 15th, Nobody 2 was the No. 7 movie on Netflix globally. During that time, it accumulated 3.1 million views and was watched for a total of 4.6 million hours. Nobody 2 also ranked third on the United States Netflix chart. This was the film’s first week placing in the streamer’s top 10. Nobody 2 was added to the platform’s library on March 14th, so it racked up these views in a short period of time.
Will There Be a Nobody 3?
When it premiered last summer, Nobody 2 earned generally positive reviews, similar to the first film. While the sequel naturally doesn’t feel as fresh as the original film, critics still found enjoyment in Odenkirk’s dedicated performance and the hard-hitting action set pieces. For Nobody 2, Timo Tjahjanto took over as director, injecting the film with a creative sense of energy that combined dark comedy with intense violence. Once again, the plot isn’t the main selling point here, it’s watching Odenkirk let loose and beat up bad guys. From that perspective, Nobody 2 delivers some memorable fight sequences (including the confrontation on the duck boat).
Despite boasting a Certified Fresh 76% Rotten Tomatoes score, Nobody 2 flew under the radar. It didn’t make much of an impression at the box office, grossing only $43.2 million worldwide against a bigger production budget of $25 million. During its opening weekend, it finished below holdovers Weapons and Freakier Friday, so its reach never extended beyond its core, niche demographic. As such, it’s nice to see the overlooked action sequel finally attract a larger audience, but this also raises questions about what the future might have in store for the Nobody franchise.
