With Zack Snyder confirmed to be staying in the Netflix family through 2025 and beyond, we thought we’d take a retrospective look at the performance. rebel moon To see how well the films have fared, find out the plans for Snyder’s next project at Netflix, and discuss what’s next for the sci-fi franchise.
As a quick reminder, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire first had a limited theatrical release in the United States on December 15, 2023, and will be available for streaming on Netflix over the Christmas period on December 22, 2023. It’s done. , once again PG, Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver, was released on Netflix on April 19, 2024 without any theatrical release. R-rated director’s cuts of both films were released on August 2, 2024.
rebel moon: Hit or Flop for Netflix?
Here comes the controversial part of the article – Were the movies successful for Netflix? Netflix hasn’t said anything publicly about this, so we’ll have to look at the data in its entirety. First, let’s aggregate the performance of two movies in their first three weeks of release (we can’t do four because Rebel Moon Part 2 was out after the third week) against some of Netflix’s biggest hits over the past few years, To see where they rank:
If we gather in protest of rebel moon From the performance of Part 1 vs. Part 2 over time, you can see that the audience did not grow from the first film to the second and plateaued very quickly.
What about the director’s cut? Sadly, we don’t have any data directly from Netflix, given that both extended director’s cuts of the film failed to enter the global top 10. This means they received less than 3.6 million views between July 29 and August 4, and less than 4.2 million views in their first full week on Netflix between August 5 and 11.
Flixpatrol, which assigns points to movies in Netflix’s top 10 daily in more than 90 countries, probably reflects the drop-off when you take their total points, given that the extended cut was only in Netflix’s top 10. . couple of days in most countries:
- Rebel Moon Part One: A Child of Fire – 16,539 points
- Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver – 10,870 points
- Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: The Curse of Forgiveness – 684 points
- Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Goblet of Blood – Issue 501
The Netflix Engagement Report will continue to provide information about the performance of movies in the future, but right now we only have the last half of 2023 and the first half of 2024. The two director’s cuts came out in August, and we haven’t received the data yet. The data so far is broken down as follows:
| title name | Order | 2023H2 hours | 2023H2 scene | 2024H1 hours | 2024H1 scene | joint hours | combined view |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rebel Moon – Part One: Child of Fire | 2:16 | 131,100,000 | 57,800,000 | 122,800,000 | 54,200,000 | 253,900,000 | 112,000,000 |
| Rebel Moon – Part Two: Scargiver | 2:04 | 0 | 0 | 115,300,000 | 55,800,000 | 115,300,000 | 55,800,000 |
| Building a Universe – Building the Rebel Moon | 0:28 | 0 | 0 | 900,000 | 1,900,000 | 900,000 | 1,900,000 |
So, what’s the conclusion here? You can’t look at the numbers above and conclude that this was a huge success for Netflix. Although we don’t think it was a complete flop, given that we heard internally from Netflix that it would be on par with their star warsWe don’t think the numbers ultimately met expectations.
what’s the latest with rebel moon Part 3?
Snyder has been ambitious about his rebel moon Plans from the beginning, however since the release of Rebel Moon Director’s Cut, all is quiet regarding the future of the film.
There have been several conflicting statements regarding how many films there will be for the main film series. On the one hand, he said that it was originally a trilogy but also suggested that it could contain up to six films. How can we even talk about six films? That number is broken, it’s a little confusingIn December 2023, it was reported that Snyder was working on a script for the third film, with an additional update in April 2024 that treatments for both the third and fourth films had been completed.
Snyder has been extremely ambitious for this rebel moon With far-reaching multi-media plans, including an animated series,
However, the same can be said about most of the things Snyder works on. The director is often considered overambitious and optimistic, or you could turn it around and say that he overpromises and underdelivers. I believe it’s a matter of perspective.
Rebel Moon Extended Director’s Cut
Similar grand plans were made for army of the dead franchise with a series of interviews and announcements regarding spin-offs and sequels. As revealed earlier this year, however, the franchise is now on permanent ice, with neither the planned sequel nor the animated spin-off moving forward.
From talking to several people, we understand that the franchise has been put on hold beyond the two-game projects we’ll discuss in a second. Things could change, but we understand that Snyder is currently focusing on other projects (more on that in a second), and Netflix has no plans to greenlight a sequel any time soon.
In the past, when Netflix had a hit film franchise, it would publicly announce plans for future entries soon afterward. For example, it was true enola holmes, sea animals, red noticeAnd The Gray ManIn the latter two cases sequels have been announced but have not yet begun production; The announcements were based solely on performance.
We contacted Netflix about what we heard about their lack of plans for future movies. However, they did not respond, which is not surprising as they are usually reluctant to confirm cancellations.

I won’t say what it is, but I wanted to say. I was like, ‘Can we just make a movie for five minutes without any VFX and then we’re back to craziness?’
We should mention another Snyder project currently in limbo at Netflix.
