“Colors of Evil: Red” hit Netflix on May 29, 2024, and, much like a serial killer with a penchant for media attention, immediately made its presence known. According to streaming viewership tracker FlixPatrol, the film is charting in 92 countries and is currently number one on the most-watched movies chart in 45 of them. Not only did it debut at number one in its native Poland, and remain in the top spot since its arrival, it also managed to pull off that same feat in Uruguay, hitting the top of charts in the South American country the day after it arrived on the service and remaining there ever since. Uruguay doesn’t exactly have a large Polish diaspora, so they must just be big fans of central European crime thrillers.
Over in the U.S., the film didn’t have quite the same impact, which isn’t too surprising considering its international origin. That said, “Colors of Evil” still managed an impressive debut stateside, arriving at number nine on the charts the day after its release and climbing steadily ever since. Between May 30 and 31, the movie made a significant jump from number nine to number three, taking the number two spot on June 1 and remaining there until June 4, at which point it fell back to the third spot. At the time of writing, it has “300: Rise of an Empire” and “Godzilla Minus One” (which only barely got added) to beat in order to claim the top spot in the U.S.. But whether it manages to triumph or not, this is an undeniably strong debut for the movie.
