‘Carry-On’ Set to Enter Netflix’s “Top 10 of All Time” Movie List
Netflix’s Carry-On has become one of the most talked-about movies of the holiday season, quickly cementing its place as a major success for the streaming giant. Released on December 13, the thriller stars Taron Egerton, Jason Bateman, and Sofia Carson and has already racked up an impressive 97.1 million views in just its first ten days.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the film blends high-stakes drama with holiday chaos, earning it the title of Netflix’s biggest movie launch of the year.
The story follows Ethan Kopek, a TSA agent played by Egerton, who faces a life-altering dilemma when he’s blackmailed into letting a mysterious and dangerous package onto a flight on Christmas Eve.
With his girlfriend’s life in jeopardy and an unknown mastermind pulling the strings, Ethan must navigate a high-pressure race against time. Bateman portrays the mysterious figure behind the scheme, while Carson plays Ethan’s girlfriend, Nora, whose safety hangs in the balance.
The film’s blend of holiday tension and action has drawn comparisons to classics like Die Hard.

The current 10th spot, held by Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, required 136.3 million views in its first month, a milestone Carry-On is more than halfway toward achieving.
