Bird-Box: Psych horror gets 45m views

Malorie (Sandra Bullock) is a single mom trying to save her children’s lives after a mysterious force invades the Earth, which causes people to kill themselves if they merely look at the phenomenon. As survivors navigating the post-apocalyptic world, everyone must wear blindfolds to stay alive.

Just one week after the release of Bird Box, the psychological horror film has been streamed 45-million times in a single week, according to Netflix. It said in a tweet that this was the “best first 7 days ever for a Netflix film”.
