"Back in Action," which debuted Jan. 17, was viewed 46.8 million times from its release date through Jan. 19, Netflix said Tuesday. "Back in Action," which also stars Jamie Foxx, earned the best opening weekend for an English language film on Netflix since “The Adam Project” in March of 2022, Variety reported.

Back in Action' director Seth Gordon tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx supported each other throughout filming — when the actress marked her return to acting with her first movie in over a decade and the actor had a medical emergency during production in April 2023.
