Safe House Leaving Netflix December 31

In 2024, both Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds have achieved significant box office success with their respective films, Gladiator II and Deadpool & Wolverine, which are among the year's top grossers. However, their earlier collaboration, the action film Safe House, is set to leave Netflix on December 31, 2024, after receiving mixed reviews, with a 52% critic score and a 63% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, Scarlett Johansson’s romantic comedy Fly Me to the Moon, which struggled at the box office with only $42 million against a $100 million budget, has found success on Apple TV+, becoming its top film. Despite the film's poor theatrical performance, it showcases the charm of the rom-com genre and features a humorous premise involving a fake moon landing. The 2024 movie landscape has been marked by a mix of cinematic hits and misses, leading to varied audience reactions and expectations. The competition among films reflects a diverse but tumultuous year for Hollywood, raising questions about audience preferences and the future of film releases.
