Ben Affleck must’ve made some deal with the acting gods in his youth as he’s shown a rare ability to maintain A-list status in Hollywood for decades. That’s despite being hit by one career misfortune after another. Daredevil… Gigli… Justice League. And yet still audiences love him.
Case in point, a slick action-thriller from Affleck’s back catalog is shooting down the competition on Netflix, just as a movie set in a universe he used to lead — a movie which snubbed a cameo from him, no less — fails to swim to the top elsewhere on streaming. In other words, Benny boy got the last laugh in the end.
The Accountant crunches numbers on Netflix as Aquaman 2 can’t crack gold on Max
As per Flix Patrol, The Accountant is currently the most popular movie on Netflix in the United States. If you’ve not seen the movie from director Gavin O’Connor before, it stars Affleck as an autistic accountant who secretly launders money for the most dangerous criminals in the world, and whose operation is threatened when Anna Kendrick’s character notices irregularities in the books.
It’s fortuitous that The Accountant is performing so well on Netflix as the 2016 thriller was just announced to be getting a belated sequel. Amazon Studios are working with Affleck on the follow-up, in which he’ll reprise his role as Christian Wolff, alongside co-stars Jon Bernthal, J.K. Simmons (does that man never sleep?!), and Cynthia Addai-Robinson. Kendrick is busy making A Simple Favor 2 instead.
It’s also kind of cathartic for Affleck fans for his movie to be sailing so high on streaming just as Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom stalls at number two on Max, where it’s been for a few days now, unable to dislodge Wonka from the number one slot. Aquaman 2 was once due to feature a cameo from Affleck as Bruce Wayne, but he was ultimately booted from the theatrical cut due to the ever-confusing continuity reboot that’s going on at DC right now.
Because of that, Affleck’s final outing as the Dark Knight seems doomed to be 2023’s execrable exercise in IP soup that was The Flash (the same goes for Michael Keaton and George Clooney as well, for shame). The Lost Kingdom did Affleck dirty, then, but at least he’s getting his own back on streaming. Never underestimate a Batman.
