Can you call it a box office result?

Netflix doesn’t report a lot of numbers, but they do tell us which movies are seen by more people.

Over the July 4th holiday, they had a winner. It was not the big ticket movie we expected.

“A Family Affair,” starring Nicole Kidman, Zac Efron, and Joey King, easily took the top spot. The light romcom had 1.4 billion sampled views. No one really knows what that means except a lot of people tried it, and liked it.

Kidman handily beat Eddie Murphy’s “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” which only had 646 million samples. This indicates a lot of things including that “Axel F” might not have been a hit in theaters since it reportedly cost a whopping $150 million.

“Axel F” has very middling reviews on Rotten Tomatoes — just 65%. But much worse is its audience rating — 81%. Netflix subscribers had little interest in it, and the ones who saw it didn’t much like it. The story of Axel F may finally be finished.

Still doing well on Netflix after six weeks is Richard Linklater’s “Hit Man.” This is one of the best films of 2024. There could be some awards future there, too. If you’re inside, sitting in front of an air conditioner, “Hit Man” is the best way to “kill” some time!

As for Kidman, she has managed to combine film and TV very deftly. And imagine — in AMC theaters, she gives her “magic” speech before her show film unspools. She’s probably the biggest real deal female actress right now.

Alec Baldwin looked confident and calm last night hosting a screening of the “Skywalkers” documentary set hit IMAX next Friday and Netflix a week later.

The East Hampton screening was the first at the newly renovated Guild Hall, one of the great venues on the east coast. Baldwin is on his way this weekend to Santa Fe, New Mexico for a ridiculous 10 day trial to determine his culpability in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Nevertheless, the famed actor — who many think is being scapegoated by the Santa Fe DA’s office — introduced “Skywalkers” and then returned to moderate the Q&A with producers Maria Bukhonia (also a co-director) and Tamir Ardon.

“Skywalkers” — a likely Oscar nominee — tells the incredible cinema verite story of young Russian couple Angela Nikolau and Ivan “Vanya” Beerkus, who became social media sensations for scaling skyscrapers and filming their astonishing achievements. They are basically in trouble all over the world for breaking laws to accomplish their mission.

The one place the couple has not done any rooftopping — the United States, New York in particular. Former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, who was in the audience, laughed when I asked him if these daredevil artists could get away with this in New York.

“I don’t think so,” he chortled, with a dead serious expression.

On stage, Bukhonia revealed that it wasn’t so easy to get the couple — who are camera ready movie stars — into the United States this winter for a premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

“I probably shouldn’t say, but Mitt Romney got them their visas.” Romney is the US Senator from Utah, the state where Sundance is held. And he serves on the Foreign Relations Committee, so it all makes sense.

Was that difficult, Baldwin asked? Ardon replied: “Russian artists who are always in trouble with the law? Nah!”

You can watch “Skywalkers” on a TV or computer, but seeing it on a screen — particularly IMAX — is the way to go. Fans of the mountain climbing movie “Free Solo” will be thrilled and frightened as Ivan and Angela fall in love as they sneak to the top of various urban pinnacles, dangling over the side, cheating death and evading the law.

Eventually the couple — mind you, they do this barefoot in socks, with no parachutes or nets — decide to conquer Kuala Lampur’s megascraper, Merdeka Tower, before it’s finished being built. They choose the final night of the World Cup in December 2022 — France vs Argentina –knowing everyone including the security guards will be glued to screens.

What ensues is better than a “Mission Impossible” movie, and you can only imagine that when Tom Cruise sees what they pull off he’ll want to try it himself. Directors Bukhonina and Jeff Zimbalist build the tension of the couple hiding in the steeple for nearly 24 hours and then scoring their most impressive rooftopping ever.

There’s a lot going on here. The producers told us not only did they hire some aerial photographers, but Beerkus is a sophisticated drone filmmaker. He would carry a drone to the tops of these 100 story buildings, then launch the drone and film the couple’s adventures!

Hopefully, Mitt Romney can bring them back for awards season this fall and winter (unless Putin catches wind of this whole thing).
