Mar 15 2024 Share

A new Netflix fantasy film starring Millie Bobby Brown has taken the platform by storm becoming the streaming service’s top watched film as of 2024 even though it was released only a few days ago on the 8th of March.

The film titled ‘Damsel’ follows Brown in the titular role as Elodie, a princess who goes against tradition by not waiting for her  prince charming to save her, instead later being targeted by him. After that, the princess has to fight through her own story and work for her own happy ending. Brown mentioned she’s never seen a story like this before.

Although it received mixed reviews from critics and only a 57% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has soared to great success on Netflix, consistently holding the number one spot on Netflix’s Global Top Ten since its release.

According to Netflix’s TUDUM website, ‘Damsel’ has already been viewed a staggering 35,300,000 times which amounted to 64,800,000 hours viewed. Those stats comfortably established the reverse fairy tale as the top-performing film of 2024 thus far, claiming the number one spot.

With the majority of information under wraps, a spokesperson confirmed Meghan’s involvement to AFP. The brand seems to focus on kitchen and lifestyle themes, as suggested by a promotional video featuring Meghan engaging in domestic activities such as flower arranging and baking.

Visitors to the brand’s website are encouraged to join a mailing list for early access to product news and updates. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and moving to the US, Harry and Meghan have embarked on several media projects, despite facing scrutiny and parting ways with some earlier partnerships. This new venture appears to be Meghan’s latest endeavour, following their outspoken critiques of the royal family and explorations in the media landscape.
