‘Purple Hearts’ Enters Netflix All-Time Films List, Passing ‘The Irishman’ and ‘The Unforgivable’

Netflix’s “Purple Hearts,” directed by Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, has entered the streamer’s Most Popular Films List, ranking at seventh.

Starring Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine, the movie tells the story of Cassie Salazar (Carson) and Luke Morrow (Galitzine), who find themselves in a tricky situation when they get married purely for the financial benefits that come with their union. Luke is about to deploy for The Marines when he meets Cassie, an aspiring musician with very liberal views. First they clash in an argument over their political leanings, but when Cassie asks an old friend of hers to get married so that she can actually afford the insulin she needs in order to live for diabetes, Luke steps in when Frankie (Chosen Jacobs) declines Cassie’s offer.

In the first 28 days viewed, “Purple Hearts” has secured 220.6 million hours watched. The military movie sits right behind “Extraction” starring Chris Hemsworth, Golshifteh Farahani and David Harbour, with 231.3 million hours viewed in its first 28 days. Behind “Purple Hearts” sits the Sandra Bullock hit “The Unforgivable,” Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and “The Kissing Booth 2,” in 10th.
