Sylvester Stallone Trilogy Finale Tops Netflix US Chart

Netflix's Top 10 US movies list included Sylvester Stallone's Escape Plan: The Extractors, indicating renewed interest. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In the Escape Plan trilogy, Stallone plays security analyst and escape artist Ray Breslin on daring rescues. The 2013 theatrical release was followed by two direct-to-video sequels.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Netflix's Top 10 movies for January 15–21 include Escape Plan: The Extractors, the third film in the trilogy. First on the platform this week, it ranks 8th. Despite critics' low ratings, Escape Plan is popular.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Escape Plan: The Extractors' streaming success suggests a franchise. Instead of Schwarzenegger, Stallone has worked with Dave Bautista in direct-to-video sequels. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A constant presence in the franchise shows the lead actor's importance to its continuation.Escape Plan may be Stallone's worst franchise, but streaming success could lead to a fourth. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The last film left loose ends that could be tied up in a sequel, setting up another. Since the last two movies weren't released in theaters, another may not.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

If made, streaming could make the Stallone prison movie more accessible. Escape Plan: The Extractors may need streaming success before being greenlit. It's in Netflix's Top 10, but its future is uncertain.
