**Los Angeles, CA** – Taylor Sheridan, the prolific writer and director behind the hit Paramount+ series “Yellowstone,” is experiencing renewed success with his 2015 film “Sicario.” The crime thriller, co-written by Sheridan and directed by Denis Villeneuve, has landed at #8 on Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 movie chart for the week of February 24th – March 2nd, a remarkable feat considering its release date was March 1st.

“Sicario,” starring Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, and Benicio del Toro, follows an FBI agent who joins a task force targeting a Mexican cartel. The film was critically acclaimed upon its initial release, earning a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and grossing over $85 million at the box office. Its resurgence on Netflix suggests a strong potential for continued growth in viewership, having already climbed to #2 on the platform’s daily chart as of March 7th.

This latest success adds to Sheridan’s already impressive portfolio, which includes several other successful films and television series such as “Wind River,” “Those Who Wish Me Dead,” and the “Yellowstone” franchise. His various Paramount+ shows have reportedly generated over $260 million for the streaming service between 2021 and 2024, a figure that doesn’t include his newest series, “Landman.” The continued success of “Sicario” on Netflix further solidifies Sheridan’s position as a major force in both film and television. The film’s strong performance suggests that its critical acclaim and compelling storyline continue to resonate with audiences, even a decade after its theatrical release.
