FlixPatrol is a site that collects streaming viewership data, and a quick look at the page for “Vanished into the Night” reveals a genuinely impressive debut for the Italian thriller. The movie hit Netflix on July 11 and immediately made it onto the charts in multiple countries the following day. In fact, “Vanished” hit number one in 24 countries on July 12, including its native Italy and many South American countries. But it also managed to take the top spot in Greece, the Bahamas, Spain, and Poland. Perhaps most impressive, though, is that the film has remained at number one in all but one of those 24 countries, slipping to number two in Spain.
However, that shouldn’t bother director Renato De Maria too much, because while he lost his number one position in Spain, his movie managed to take number one in a host of other markets. As of July 15, “Vanished” is number one in no less than 48 countries, managing to take the top spot in France, Egypt, Lithuania, and Saudi Arabia, just to name a few.
All of which raises the question: how well “Vanished” is doing in the United States? When it first arrived on Netflix, the film made enough of an impression on viewers to debut on the most-watched charts at number four the day after it was released. Since then, it has slowly climbed the charts, hitting number three as of July 13, and reaching number two as of July 15. “Vanished” also managed a similarly impressive run in the UK, where it debuted at number five on July 12 and has since climbed all the way to the third spot.
