Now among Netflix's most watched movies ever is Millie Bobby Brown's fantasy picture, Damsel. Directed Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) with a script written by Dan Mazeau (Fast X), the fantasy film follows a dutiful damsel who agrees to marry a handsome prince, though she must rely on her wits and determination to survive after the royal family tries to sacrifice her to settle an age-old debt by casting her into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon.

The Damsel's Success
Three months following its March 8 premiere, Brown's fantasy picture is now ranked third on Netflix's Top 10 list of most watched Movies. Brown's film is evidence that a well-told narrative with the appropriate cast can still attract viewers in a crowded market where streaming services are continuously seeking to entice viewers with fresh and popular content. This also reflects how theatrical releases and streaming services seem to be changing since the conventional link between box office performance and critical reception becomes progressively meaningless. Damsel received a 57% Rotten Tomatoes rating, hence this obviously had no effect on the movie's huge popularity with Netflix users.
Brown has demonstrated that she is a flexible and gifted actress since her career-defining performance on Stranger Things. Brown has confirmed her status as one of Hollywood's most sought-after emerging actresses with the ongoing popularity of her prior films, like Enola Holmes; Damsel is set to follow in this regard.
