2023 Dreamworks Flop Swims to the Top of the Netflix Movie Chart

- The move to Netflix breathed new life into the film, outperforming other notable releases and offering a second chance for success.
- DreamWorks may need to reconsider its release strategy after the unexpected success of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken on the streaming platform.
Netflix's recent acquisition, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, has rocketed to the top of the streaming chart despite the movie being a huge box office flop back in June 2023.
- Originally released in theaters by Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation, the film's theatrical run sank like a dead weight, grossing just $46 million worldwide against a budget of $70 million.
- This resulted in an estimated $80 million loss for Universal, taking into account marketing costs, and set a new low opening for a Dreamworks project.
