"The Electric State" underperformed compared to other films

The Electric State, a new film starring Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown, debuted on Netflix and gained 25.2 million views in its first week. While this number sounds impressive, it falls short compared to other similar films on the platform. The film, directed by the Russo Brothers, had a huge production budget of over $300 million. Despite its exciting cast and high costs, it struggled to capture the same audience as other major Netflix releases. For instance, Red Notice had a record-breaking 75.6 million views in its first week. Other films like Don't Look Up and The Gray Man also outperformed The Electric State with 46.6 million and 41.2 million views, respectively. Currently, The Electric State sits at 15th place for first-week views on Netflix. It narrowly surpasses other titles like Rebel Moon: Part One and Rebel Moon: Part Two. Expectations for the film were high, given the talent involved, which means its performance may be disappointing to some. The film has received negative reviews, which could affect its future viewership. Netflix's early numbers often set the tone for a film’s success or failure. Although there's still a chance for it to climb the rankings, trends suggest that it may struggle to gain traction moving forward. The Electric State might not be a critical hit, but it offers a decent viewing experience. Despite this, it seems to be missing the attention it needs to succeed, leaving many wondering how viewers feel about it.
