Life Of A King's Netflix Success Is Not Unusual While the Netflix global top 10 tends to have some surprises, Life of a King is one of the most shocking inclusions. Barely getting a theatrical release, the movie brought in just $44,000 in the entirety of its theatrical run, of which $6,547 was domestic. Furthermore, it is a decade-old movie, and the director does not have any current projects, making Life of a King’s streaming renaissance all the more surprising.
