WhileHugh Jackmanhas a movie out in theaters that’s absolutely dominating the box office, another one of his recent films is rocketing up the Netflix streaming charts.Reminiscence, the psychological thriller which Jackman stars in alongsideRebecca Ferguson, has officially begun streaming on Netflix. The film has yet to crack the top 10 movie chart, likely due to it releasing on the platform just one day prior, falling short of the least popular entries in the top 10, includingMinions,The Lorax, andWhite Chicks, which has also found extraordinary success on Netflix. In addition to Jackman and Ferguson,Reminiscencealso starsCliff Curtis,Daniel Wu, andBrett Cullen. The film currently sits at nearly identical scores of 37% and 38% from critics and audiences respectively onRotten Tomatoes.
