>That would mean 37% of the global Netflix subscriber base watched this movie in the first few days after release. That is literally unbelievable.

why? and some people will watch it multiple times, also if hours watched is just the straight calculation of all the time spent watching the people who go back and watch a scene over again would also count.

I would expect it to be a straight calculation of all time watched, easier and probably the best calculator of value for Netflix.

>but the total viewers would likely translate to at least the 2nd biggest opening ever for a theatrical release.

I would expect that streaming movies get a larger amount of the available audience to look at them if they look reasonably enjoyable than movies in theatres.

in point of fact I watched it and I would never have wasted my time to go to a theater to see it - but I was tired and felt this will be a brainless thing with some funny Ryan Reynolds lines and buddy hijinks with the Rock competently executed, time to chill out and eat some snacks.
