The 1998 “Seinfeld” finale drew 76.3 million viewers, which made it the fourth-most-watched series finale in TV history. Jerry Seinfeld‘s “Unfrosted” opening weekend on Netflix was not that, but it was No. 1 on Netflix in its debut, notching 7.1 million views.
The (mostly fiction) comedy film about the invention of the Pop-Tart wasn’t quite a hit with critics (to say the least), but it so far has popped with audiences, probably in part because of the obscene amount of press Seinfeld did leading up to its release.
It beat out Sony’s “Anyone But You” and Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” which is now on the English Films Top 10 List for its third straight week.
Also performing strong is “Baby Reindeer,” which for the third week in a row is No. 1 on the English TV charts for Netflix, earning another 18.6 million views in the week of April 29. Making its debut on the chart was the David E. Kelley series “A Man in Full” with 6.3 million views, and two of Netflix’s recent live events, “Katt Williams: Woke Foke” and “The Roast of Tom Brady,” also cracked the Top 10 (though not the John Mulaney special).
“Unfrosted” was directed and co-written by Seinfeld and also stars him alongside Jim Gaffigan, Melissa McCarthy, Amy Schumer, and a litany of comedian guest stars, including one incredible cameo.
