The Oscar-Nominated Thriller With the Best Twist Ever Is Now on Netflix

Collider · 2 months ago

This Collider article is a weekend streaming recommendation piece that frames its picks against a run of underwhelming cinema releases. It notes that recent blockbusters have struggled at the box office, positioning home streaming as an appealing alternative, before highlighting three films to watch on US Netflix. The headline selection is David Fincher's 2014 thriller Gone Girl, praised for its twist and adapted from Gillian Flynn's novel.

Gone Girl follows Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) as he faces media frenzy and suspicion after the disappearance of his wife (Rosamund Pike), and holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of 88% and an IMDb rating of 8.1/10. Pike earned an Academy Award nomination for her lead performance, and the film was widely named among the best of its year. The article's box-office context cites Supergirl, the second DC Universe instalment, which fell a further 77% in its second weekend, and Illumination's Minions & Monsters, which recorded the lowest opening weekend in the franchise's history, with the live-action Moana hoping to reverse the trend.

  • Gone Girl leads Collider's weekend US Netflix picks.
  • Fincher's 2014 thriller holds 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
  • Rosamund Pike earned an Oscar nomination for her role.
