Netflix’s Most Talked-About Holiday Thriller Is Breaking Records

Carry-On has been an instant hit for Netflix.

As the never-ending debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas movie continues to rage on, Netflix has entered the chat with a Die Hard-esque movie of its own. The streaming service has released a new original thriller called Carry-On, which joins the pantheon of action films set during the holidays.

Carry-On follows a TSA agent that gets a call about a mysterious package being loaded onto a plane on Christmas Eve, and boasts a great leading duo in Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman. Given that premise — and some overwhelmingly positive reviews — it comes as no surprise that Carry-On immediately soared to the top of Netflix’s movie charts.

Sunday’s edition of the Netflix Top 10 Movies list sees Carry-On take over the top overall spot on the streaming service. The new thriller blew past other recent hits like It Ends With Us and That Christmas to conquer the charts. You can check out a full rundown of Sunday’s Netflix Top 10 Movies list below!
