Rory Kennedy\u2019s \u2018The Volcano\u2019 Erupts With Viewers on Netflix Charts: <\/h1>\n

As the ubiquitous \u201cWednesday\u201d and mighty \u201cHarry and Meghan\u201d continue to dominate in series viewership on Netflix, a nonfiction film is breaking through in a surprising way: \u201cThe Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ranked as the number one film in the U.S on Wednesday, filmmaker Rory Kennedy directs the tense story of 47 tourists and guides trapped by a volcanic eruption off the coast of New Zealand in December of 2019. Through firsthand accounts, Kennedy retraces the event minute-by-minute, demonstrating mother nature\u2019s power and the kindness of strangers in equal parts.<\/p>\n

Breaking into the official Netflix Global Top 10 this week, \u201cThe Volcano\u201d hit number one in countries including the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and much of Europe on Wednesday. It\u2019s a notable performance often dominated by Netflix originals and holiday content. One source familiar with Netflix noted how rare it was for a documentary feature to make this kind of noise around the world, comparing it to heavyweights like \u201cThe Tinder Swindler,\u201d \u201cGhislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich,\u201d and \u201cThe Redeem Team,\u201d about the U.S. Men\u2019s Olympic basketball team.<\/p>\n

The film is the second recent collaboration between the streamer and Kennedy. She previously directed \u201cDownfall: The Case Against Boeing,\u201d about the terrifying crashes caused by software glitches in the Boeing 737 Max. \u201cVolcano\u201d hails from Imagine Documentaries, Moxie Films, and Appian Way (Leonardo DiCaprio\u2019s production entity). Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jennifer Davisson, Dicaprio, and Phillip Watson are executive producers. Alex Perry served as co-executive producer<\/p>\n

The project was written by Mark Bailey and Dallas Brennan Rexer, and boasts an original score from Hans Zimmer. Bailey, Kennedy, and Rexer produced the project with Imagine Docs chiefs Sara Bernstein and Justin Wilkes.<\/p>\n
