The Adam Project Marks An Impressive New Record For Ryan Reynolds

gamerant.com:

The Adam Project star Ryan Reynolds has become one of Hollywood's most surprising success stories over the years. Anyone watching his earlier projects like Waiting and Just Friends (or even the spitefully-titled Two Guys, a Girl, and a Pizza Place) might not have expected to see someone so at home in the «screwball» genre make such an impact later on. But he persisted, giving the world 2 hilarious Deadpool movies, the surprisingly fun Free Guy, and also The Croods.

But his most recent venture, Netflix's time-travel action-comedy The Adam Project, has elevated his status even more, earning him a distinction that no others have achieved (not yet, anyway). Thanks to the success of his latest film, Reynolds has become the first actor to star in 3 entries on Netflix's top 10 most popular English language films list. Not bad for the guy from Green Lantern.

Per The Hollywood Reporter,The Adam Project, which has already jumped up to the 7th spot on that list after only 3 weeks, earned Reynolds that honor pretty quickly, but its success didn't just come out of nowhere. The other two films that make up his new record are Michael Bay's 6 Underground, coming in at number 9, and the comedy thriller Red Notice, which recently became Netflix's number 1 most-watched movie. The fact that 6 Underground hasn't reached number 6 just feels like a cruel prank by a joyless universe.

Now, this doesn't mean that Reynolds has shot above and beyond his peers, even though this is definitely a significant accomplishment. In fact, he was tied with Sandra Bullock for a time, with both actors boasting 2 of Netflix's top 10. Bullock still holds that honor, with her hit The Bird Box
