OMG you guys! Somebody check the streaming charts because Daniel Craig just broke them. Like, literally shattered them. Forget James Bond, the only name we are talking about right now is Craig. Daniel Craig. And he is absolutely SLAYING the game this week.
In what might be the biggest streaming story of the holiday season, Craig’s dark and gritty new thriller, Cipher's Shadow, has officially rocketed to the Number One spot on Peacock. We are talking total domination. The movie, which sees Craig as a grizzled detective hunting a modern day Zodiac Killer copycat in San Francisco, dropped just last week and audiences are completely and utterly obsessed. The timeline is flooded with people talking about the shocking twists and Craig’s intense performance. It is giving us major detective-era energy and we are SO here for it.
Sources close to the Peacock streaming platform are saying the numbers are "unprecedented" for a new original film, proving that everyone was desperate for a dose of serious, brooding Daniel Craig. He’s traded in Benoit Blanc’s southern drawl for a world weary scowl, and it is a certified HIT. If you haven’t streamed Cipher's Shadow yet, cancel your plans immediately.
But wait, the Craig-aissance does not stop there!
As if conquering a major streamer wasn’t enough, a fan favorite classic is having a massive global moment. That’s right, David Fincher’s 2011 masterpiece, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, is surging on global streaming charts. It’s like the success of his new Peacock thriller has created a ripple effect, sending fans flocking back to see his iconic performance as journalist Mikael Blomkvist.
The film, which also stars Rooney Mara in her legendary role as Lisbeth Salander, is a dark, twisted, and totally brilliant mystery that has held up for over a decade. Now, a whole new generation is discovering it, and OGs are remembering why they fell in love with it in the first place. Analytics are showing huge streaming spikes across Netflix and other international platforms where the film is available. The lesson here? Never underestimate the power of a dark Daniel Craig thriller. It's a whole genre now!
What makes this whole takeover even more fascinating is the timing. Just yesterday, on December 13, reports surfaced that Craig was feeling a huge sense of relief after wrapping the third and final installment of the Benoit Blanc mystery series with director Rian Johnson. Insiders say Craig received the “highest praise” for his final turn as the quirky detective in the film, which is rumored to be a deeply personal story centered around faith and family.
After the globetrotting fun of Glass Onion, the trilogy’s close is said to be an emotional and powerful finale that solidifies Benoit Blanc as one of cinema's greatest detectives. Craig reportedly told close friends he was immensely proud of the work but relieved to hang up the southern accent for a while.
And honey, did he ever! He went from a family friendly mystery to a Zodiac Killer thriller, and both are getting major buzz. Talk about RANGE.
This is the ultimate Hollywood power move. Daniel Craig has officially entered his post Bond, post Benoit Blanc era, and he’s proving he’s more bankable than ever. He’s not just an action hero or a quirky detective; he is a force of nature who can command the screen and the streaming charts in any genre he chooses.
So let’s recap this epic week for Daniel Craig: His brand new Zodiac Killer movie is the biggest thing on Peacock, his classic hacker thriller is a global streaming phenomenon, and the final chapter of his beloved detective trilogy is already getting rave reviews.
It’s not just a good week for the actor; it’s a total industry takeover. One thing is for sure, whatever Daniel Craig touches turns to streaming gold. We will be watching… and you should be too
