New Netflix Action Movie Scores Biggest 2023 Opening With Massive Numbers

The Mother scores Netflix’s biggest opening weekend of 2023. Released on the streaming service this past Mother’s Day weekend, the action-thriller stars Jennifer Lopez as an unnamed assassin known only as “the Mother” who reemerges after years of hiding to rescue her daughter after abandoning her years ago. Alongside Lopez, The Mother cast also includes Joseph Fiennes, Lucy Paez, Omari Hardwick, Paul Raci, Gael García Bernal, and Edie Falco. The role returns Lopez to her action roots which, despite the mixed reviews, appears to be paying early dividends for the star.
