Netflix's The Adam Project, starring Ryan Reynolds, has experienced one of the streaming service's most successful debut weeks.

Viewers across the world helped the movie, which was filmed all over B.C., reach the number one trending spot on the platform, with more than 92.4 million hours of viewing time.

The movie is now in the top 10 most-watched films in 93 countries, surpassing The Weekend Away to reach the top spot, according to data released by Netflix.

According to Deadline, Netflix has backlogged its top-viewed movies to the week of June 28-July 3, 2021, and The Adam Project has had the third-best debut week, coming in behind Red Notice (148.7 million hours watched) and Don't Look Up (111 million hours watched).

Reynolds, who stars alongside Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldana and Mark Ruffalo, returned to his hometown of Vancouver to shoot the new Netflix movie, which was directed by fellow Canadian Shawn Levy.

The movie features Reynolds as a fighter pilot who travels back in time to team up with his younger self, played by actor Walker Scobell, to save the future.

On February 28, Reynolds took to Instagram to post a cheeky video of himself and his younger costar, captioning the post, "Set your time machines to fun."

The pair seem to have hit it off on screen and off it.

On Monday, March 7, Reynolds shared a post on his Instagram of Scobell's sassy attempts to work some vaguely inappropriate lines into a Kraft Mac & Cheese ad.

And it looks like Reynolds enjoyed filming in his hometown of Vancouver and around B.C.

During an interview with Netflix, Reynolds and Levy talked about how much they loved filming in Canada, and Reynolds revealed what his favourite restaurant in the world is — a Greek restaurant hidden away in downtown Vancouver.

When you see the huge mountains, stunning lakes and rainy Vancouver weather in the movie, you'll instantly recognize the iconic Canadian scenery.
