Snyder’s Rebel Moon Sequel Creates Buzz but Falls Short
Despite claiming the top spot on Netflix’s English Films List, Zack Snyder’s latest action-packed epic, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, fell short its predecessor, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire. The sequel attracted 21.4 million eyeballs, shy of the original’s 23.9 million viewers during its debut window. The income number, however, doesn’t signify a lack of interest in Snyder’s continued storytelling.
Previous Hits on Netflix
Netflix subscribers have a taste for various genres. Earlier, Sam Esmail’s thriller, Leave the World Behind, debuted to a whopping 41.7 million audiences. Millie Bobby Brown’s fantasy action hit Damsel won over 35 million watchers during its opening weekend and escalated to 126 million in just 44 days.

Stiff Competition on the Platform
Living up to the ardent fandom, Snyder has consistently delivered #1 films on Netflix, including the Rebel Moon series and Army of the Dead. However, he faced fierce competition for viewership. The live-action/animated crossover film, Woody the Woodpecker Goes to Camp, garnered 18.8 million views, securing the #2 spot. Meanwhile, the sensational true crime docuseries, What Jennifer Did, followed closely at #3 with 16.3 million views. Damsel continued to impress, obtaining 2.5 million additional viewers.
Netflix’s Recent Additions to the Top List
Netflix’s official press release revealed some notable rankings among the English TV Series. Baby Reindeer, a limited series by Richard Gadd, emerged at the top with 13.3 million views, whereas established shows like 3 Body Problem and Guy Ritchie’s The Gentlemen continued to stay on the list. Among new entries were the nature docuseries Our Living World, Jimmy Carr’s stand-up special Natural Born Killer, and Season 6 of the reality competition series The Circle.
The Popularity of Replay
Despite trailing behind its predecessor, Rebel Moon Part Two witnessed an interesting trend. A significant number of viewers, around 5.5 million, opted to revisit Rebel Moon Part One before entering into the sequel’s cosmos. Snyder’s films have been known to display a ‘long tail,’ with fans watching them repeatedly for viewing parties or themed games.
Looking Forward
Inevitably, the question arises of why Rebel Moon’s second part hasn’t hit the excitement expected. Factors could range from a potentially weaker promotional lead-up to increased competition on Netflix. However, Snyder’s reputation of creating entire film universes leaves fans eagerly anticipating future Rebel Moon releases. The director is rumored to expand the series to four or even six movies. As the film series continues to evolve, audiences worldwide will likely stay tuned to Snyder’s cinematic vision.
