Eli Roth’s seasonal slasher Thanksgiving has made a bloody splash on Netflix’s viewership charts, entering the US top 10 upon being added. Inspired by the director’s contribution to Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s 2007 movie Grindhouse, the horror movie focuses on a sleepy Massachusetts town that is plagued by a masked pilgrim-costumed killer during the titular holiday. Roth’s holiday feature was a critical and financial success upon its release, earning praise in reviews and grossing $46.5 million from a $15 million budget, with Thanksgiving 2 being greenlit in November 2023.
Now, Thanksgiving has left Netflix viewers revisiting the 2023 horror movie upon it being added to the streaming service in the United States. During its debut week of February 12 to February 18, the horror movie firmly solidified its presence by taking ninth place on Netflix‘s US Top 10 chart. While additional statistics and viewership numbers were not provided, Thanksgiving surpassed Illumination’s animated family comedy, Minions, pushing it to tenth place despite having spent six weeks on the chart.
