Netflix's US Top 10 Includes James Caan's Final Film

The US top ten Netflix movies include James Caan's final film. From The Godfather to Funny Lady to Rollerball to Thief, Caan became a Hollywood star. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The tough guy actor's warm-and-fuzzy Elf performance with Will Ferrell won over a new generation of moviegoers. A tragic 82-year-old star died in 2022.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Caan's final film, Queen Bees, debuts at number 5 on Netflix's US top ten movies chart for January 15–21, 2024. It grossed $2.3 million in 2021 on a $5 million budget.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Queen Bees wasn't a popular release or with critics (55% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes), but its Netflix numbers suggest it's a charming, lightweight ensemble comedy.  The film's main draw is its 1970s award-winning cast.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Queen Bees stars Godfather star Caan and Ellen Burstyn, who won an Oscar for Martin Scorsese's Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore and The Exorcist. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Ann-Margret, who was nominated for an Oscar for Ken Russell's insane Tommy, stars. Christopher Lloyd and Jane Curtin from Back to the Future are also joining.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Queen Bees, an older-targeted film, was doomed in June 2021 by COVID-19. Due to its legendary cast, the film is a Netflix hit after an untimely release.
