Entertainment site Collider reports that The Doorman, a 2020 heist thriller starring Ruby Rose, has become an unexpected streaming hit after being added to Netflix's global library this week. The film, which underperformed on its original release, has climbed into the top 10 in more than 25 countries, illustrating how Netflix's large subscriber base can revive titles that never found an audience in cinemas.
The Doorman stars Rose, known for playing Ares in John Wick: Chapter 2, alongside Jean Reno and Rupert Evans, and was directed by Ryūhei Kitamura. The article frames the film's resurgence within a strong 2026 for Netflix, noting other successes such as the original film War Machine, fronted by Alan Ritchson, which passed 130 million views and has been greenlit for a sequel, as well as the catalogue series The Last Ship. It also mentions the cancelled sci-fi series The Boroughs. The Doorman remains available in the US on Prime Video, Pluto TV and Tubi.
