Tomb Raider Starring Alicia Vikander Is A Huge Hit On Netflix
The 2018 film adaptation of *Tomb Raider*, featuring Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander as the globetrotting heroine Lara Croft, is currently seeing a massive and unexpected surge in popularity on Netflix. Proving that there is still a significant appetite for the video game icon’s big-screen adventures, the film has secured a strong position on the streaming giant’s global charts.
Based on Netflix’s official worldwide streaming data, the movie was the No. 9 most-watched film globally for the week running from December 22 through December 28. This performance wasn’t a flash in the pan; the action flick has successfully maintained a presence inside Netflix’s global Top 10 ranking for two consecutive weeks.
During the measured period, the two-hour adventure racked up an impressive 4.2 million total views, translating to 8.2 million hours of streamed content worldwide.
The film’s success is particularly notable given the competition during the holiday season. *Tomb Raider* managed to stand out in a Top 10 largely saturated with seasonal favorites. While classics like *The Grinch* captured the No. 1 spot, and other holiday titles such as *The Christmas Chronicles* and *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* also claimed multiple positions, Vikander’s high-octane archaeological journey held its ground, demonstrating its lasting appeal among subscribers looking for action over traditional Christmas cheer.
