Jake Gyllenhaal looking scared on a plane as Sam Hall in The Day After Tomorrow
The Day After Tomorrow has found success on Netflix's global top 10 after 20 years. Hitting theaters in 2004, director Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow chronicles the onset of a devastating new planetary Ice Age, following a paleoclimatologist as he treks from Washington D.C. to New York City to rescue his stranded son. The film, which stars Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Emmy Rossum, was a box office hit, grossing $552.6 million worldwide.
What The Day After Tomorrow's Netflix Success Says About The Film How The Gyllenhaal Flick Fared With Critics & Audiences At The Time The Day After Tomorrow became a success quickly upon its release. With an estimated budget of $125 million, the film could have been looking at a break-even point as high as $312 million, a figure it far exceeded at the worldwide box office.
Still, though, the film's resurgence in popularity on Netflix speaks to its enduring appeal 20 years later. The movie was widely seen at the time of its release and would become a home-viewing hit, and there's evidently a comfort and watchability factor that makes it a go-to choice on streaming.
While there are smarter and more realistic disaster movies, The Day After Tomorrow remains a seminal entry in the genre, especially for audiences of a certain age, myself included. Due to its cast, story, effects, and the nostalgia factor, it's very likely that Emmerich's film will continue to be a hit on streaming in the years to come.The Day After Tomorrow 2.5 0 Your Rating5 stars4.5 stars4 stars3.5 stars3 star2.5 stars2 stars1.5 stars1 stars0.
