Fri Jan 24 10:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Cameron Diaz’s Netflix Return Breaks Streaming Record
**Los Angeles, CA** – Cameron Diaz’s highly anticipated return to acting after a nearly decade-long hiatus has propelled her new Netflix film, “Back in Action,” to a record-breaking start. The film, co-starring Jamie Foxx, garnered a staggering 46.8 million views in its opening weekend (January 17-19), surpassing “The Adam Project” to claim the best opening weekend for an English-language Netflix film in almost three years.
Diaz and Foxx play a retired spy couple thrust back into action, a role that has clearly resonated with audiences. The film’s success also boosted the viewership of other Diaz films, with “Knight and Day” re-entering the Netflix top 10.
While Diaz hasn’t confirmed whether this is a permanent return to acting, her performance has undoubtedly reignited interest in her career. She previously stated that her decade-long break was the “best 10 years of her life,” dedicated to family. This successful comeback, however, suggests a potential resurgence for the actress who rose to fame in the 90s and early 2000s with hits like “There’s Something About Mary” and “Charlie’s Angels.” “Back in Action” currently sits comfortably ahead of other recent Netflix hits, though it still trails behind all-time viewership leaders like “Red Notice” and “Don’t Look Up.”
