11 Million People Streamed Netflix's 'Bright' On Opening Weekend

While the Netflix film Bright may not have been a shining star in terms of critical reception, the users of Netflix showed their support for the Will Smith blockbuster on opening weekend. According to Nielsen estimates, 11 million people watched Bright from December 22-24. Those same estimates, per Variety's report, claim that the movie saw 7 million of those viewers come from the 18-49 demographic. Netflix has disputed these numbers in the past, saying that Nielsen is off by a substantial margin. Nielsen's numbers don't account for viewings that take place on mobile phones or computers, and they also only count viewers in the U.S.
