So far, in 2026, Netflix has put out a number of new titles. The People We Meet on Vacation rom-com movie starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth has proved to be a hit, for example, while the TV show His & Hers with Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal has also found an audience.

There’s one title, however, that was just recently added to the streaming platform that has quickly proven to be Netflix’s biggest hit since Happy Gilmore 2. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Adam Sandler comedy sequel received 46.7 million views worldwide following its first weekend.

What star-filled movie has become a huge hit for Netflix?

As announced in a press release, The Rip received 41.6 million views last week. The movie was released on Netflix on January 16, 2026.

“In this dirty-cop thriller, suspicion falls on everyone as Lieutenant Dane Dumars (Matt Damon) and Detective Sergeant J.D. Byrne (Ben Affleck) lead a Tactical Narcotics Team following up on a tip about a cartel stash house,” a description of the film reads. “The rip — a term for when cops seize criminal assets — is $20 million, and every dollar must be counted before they can leave the house, allowing time for mistrust to grow within the team.”

In addition to Damon and Affleck, the cast of The Rip includes Steven Yeun as Detective Mike Ro, Teyana Taylor as Detective Numa Baptiste, Catalina Sandino Moreno as Detective Lolo Salazar, Sasha Calle as Desi, Scott Adkins as FBI Agent Del Byrne, and Kyle Chandler as DEA Agent Matty Nix.

The movie is directed by Joe Carnahan, whose previous filmography includes 2006’s Smokin’ Aces, 2010’s The A-Team, 2011’s The Grey, 2014’s Stretch, 2020’s Boss Level, 2021’s Copshop, and more.

The Rip is now available to stream on Netflix.
