Fan-Favorite Mark Wahlberg Movie Making Waves on Netflix 15 Years After Release

Action films from the last decade or two with a massive Hollywood star in the lead role have often found a second wave of success on Netflix. It usually doesn't even matter if the film in question was poorly received or failed to make a splash at the box office when it was released. Certain stars draw viewers on Netflix when their older movies are added to the service's lineup, and it looks like Mark Wahlberg is one of them.

15 years ago, Wahlberg starred in Antoine Fuqua's Shooter, based on the novel by Stephen Hunter. The film didn't crack $100 million at the box office received middle-of-the-road reviews from critics, but it has been performing well on Netflix nonetheless. 

Shooter was added to Netflix's lineup last week and, despite its lack of popularity back in 2007, the film has been rising through the streamer's ranks ever since. Monday's edition of the Netflix Top 10 listed the film as the day's eighth-most popular movie. Tuesday's list puts Shooter at number five. 

Netflix subscribers are tuning in to check out Shooter now that it's streaming on the service. Some are likely rewatching for the first time in years, while others are probably Wahlberg fans that just never saw it in the first place. Either way, Marky Mark is proving his streaming might on Netflix once again.
