Two different Sniper movies have become Netflix streaming hits in the U.S. The movie franchise originated in 1993 with Sniper, which followed Tom Berenger and Billy Zane as a pair of snipers attempting an assassination in Panama. The movie didn’t get its first sequel until 2002’s Sniper 2, which was then followed by eight more installments through 2023’s Sniper: G.R.I.T. – Global Response & Intelligence Team. This brought the total to 10 movies, six of which starred Berenger as Master Gunnery Sergeant Tom Beckett, and seven of which starred Chad Michael Collins as his son, Marine Sergeant Brandon Beckett.
Netflix has now calculated their most-watched English-language movies for the week of December 25 through December 31, 2023. On the chart, 2017’s Sniper: Ultimate Kill has claimed the No. 3 spot, followed at No. 4 by 2020’s Sniper: Assassins End. Both movies rank higher than several major contemporary blockbusters including Meg 2: The Trench (No. 5) and Gran Turismo (No. 8).
