The highly anticipated Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F., which debuted on Netflix on the Fourth of July, was able to earn 41 million viewers in its first week, making it the most-watched English movie of the week.
The movie, which stars Murphy, is about a Detroit police officer who goes to Los Angeles to save his daughter.
While Jane is under fire for defending a cop killer, she also gets a lead from Billy Rosewood, who is a Beverly Hills PD vet.
This leads to some confusion. Several franchise veterans, including Bronson Pinchot, Paul Reiser, and John Ashton, appear in the movie as various characters.
Taylour Paige, who appeared in the hit movies The Baxters and Hit the Floor, is the new addition to the film’s cast as Jane Saunders.
Other actors such as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kevin Bacon also join the movie.
According to the TVLine review, Axel F received a grade of C+, while the average rating of the readers was B.
In its second week on Netflix, A Family Affair, which stars Zac Efron, Nicole Kidman, and King, was able to add another 31.9 million viewers to its already impressive total.
After opening with 26 million views, Jessica Alba’s action thriller, Trigger Warning, was able to gain another 8 million during its second week. It moved into the third spot.
