A lyrics search of Genius shows Thanos getting mentioned on Eminem and Ghostface Killah albums, not to mention many, many more. No longer is knowledge of Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet the realm of comic book nerds. Such a thing isn’t out of the realm with famously devoted Marvel fans, who have made the MCU an inescapable part of not just pop culture, but culture culture.
How many MCU fans would need to watch Thor: The Dark World 191 times to challenge Red Notice? Photo by Jun Sato/WireImage Our Marvel superfan would have to recruit 28,550 MCU stans to watch 23 Marvel movies 191 times in a row to start approaching Red Notice numbers, hitting 31,032 years.
If he got 99 True Believers to come along with him, that would amount to a combined 108 years and six months worth of time. If he got nine friends to come along with him, that would equal out to 10 years and eight months. That would equal out to 397 days and nine hours, or about a year and a month.
That’s 23 movies, equaling out to 49 hours and 56 minutes, as per ScreenRant’s math. Let’s say that the Marvel superfan wasn’t content with just watching Endgame, but wanted to watch every MCU from Iron Man through Spider-Man: Far From Home 191 times.

That’s roughly equal to 24 days and three hours (shout out this time data calculator), which is a long time to watch a movie but barely a blip in the evolution of humanity, which is where Red Notice’s fans are reaching. The time devoted to Endgame got even more hardcore: back in March a superfan earned a spot in the Guinness World Records by watching it 191 times in theaters. As one number-cruncher points out, based on the number of people who showed up to Endgame in the first two weeks, the reported hours-viewed number for Red Notice would make it a bigger draw in its first two weeks than the Marvel blockbuster.Įndgame is 182 minutes, and based on rolled-up ticket sales data, sold around 349.2 million tickets, meaning theater-goers watched around 1.047 billion hours of the movie. To put Red Notice, which lasts 118 minutes, into context, let’s look at a longer movie with a huge cultural impact: Avengers: Endgame. Audiences appear to be responding in a major way. Red Notice banks heavily on its three stars of Ryan Reynolds, Dwayne Johnson, and Gal Gadot. While a one-time audit does not offer consistency, it fits into larger industry trends of rejecting the longtime standard Nielsen ratings. That metric was dropped in October in favor of measuring success based on total hours, offering what the company referred to in an earnings call with shareholders as a “better read on viewing engagement and satisfaction.” And the company has hired accounting firm EY to run an audit of its rankings, which it says will be released next year. Netflix itself has responded to some criticism of how it used to publicly measure viewership by watching the first two minutes of any given title.

Netflix itself has been the subject of controversy, with critics noting that these internal metrics have no independent verification outside of the company. A post shared by therock does being the “biggest” movie on Netflix mean these days? In an era where major companies like Facebook have been accused of knowingly inflating video metrics, and YouTube numbers can easily be exaggerated through bots, tech giants’ shareable metrics always come with a grain of salt.
