Jennifer Lopez's new action movie The Mother makes Netflix's all-time top 10 list and pushes out Martin Scorsese's Academy Award-nominated The Irishman. Lopez stars as the titular character, an unnamed assassin who reappears after years of living in seclusion to save the daughter she previously placed in foster care. After premiering in May, The Mother immediately proved popular, managing to score Netflix's biggest opening weekend for a movie in 2023 so far.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Mother remains at the top of Netflix's weekly charts and has made the streaming service's all-time most popular English-language movies list with 229.3 million hours viewed in its first 28 days. By doing so, Lopez's action-thriller replaces Purple Hearts in the No. 8 slot and pushes Scorsese's The Irishman off the list entirely.
Why The Mother Has Been So Popular Despite The Mother's mixed reception from critics, earning a 43% on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has remained popular on Netflix, topping the streaming giant's weekly top 10 chart since its premiere. Although it may not win any major cinematic awards, The Mother's tried-and-true plot and taut action gives it a high level of accessibility.
Due to The Mother's resounding success, Lopez and Netflix have considered turning the film into a franchise. Lopez previously discussed the possibility of a sequel centered on Zoe , who she dubbed "The Daughter." However, no official announcement has been made so far. Based on these numbers, though, The Mother could spawn Netflix's latest ongoing franchise.
