Sofia Carson is one of those breakout stars who has proved her potential with heartwarming performances, dedication, and patience. From a Disney star in her early days to an established Hollywood actress, the hustle has been real, and she is getting her due for it. Fortunately, she is among those faces whose potential was recognized by Netflix and has since then been put to full use with one engaging performance after another. With her latest slice-of-life movie that deals with an overwhelming subject, Carson has once again proved her mettle.
And what is more important is that her new movie, despite a small budget, has found itself on par with a big-budget Netflix movie starring Millie Bobby Brown
and is teasing serious competition.
Sofia Carson leads the Netflix race, leaving behind Millie Bobby Brown
For March, Netflix has its schedule packed with highly anticipated movies, featuring stellar casts and strong performances. While Netflix’s favorite Millie Bobby Brown arrived with The Electric State
, which also stars Chris Pratt, Sofia Carson arrived with her romantic comedy drama The Life List
in the last hours of March. And it took Carson only a couple of days to emerge as the biggest movie on Netflix for the month. According to What’s on Netflix
, in three days, The Life List
has had a brilliant exposure of 24.4M CVEs, almost the same as The Electric State
.
While on a quest to complete her teenage bucket list, a young woman finds romance, uncovers family secrets and rediscovers herself.

Carson is giving stiff competition to Brown’s movie, made on a budget of an astonishing $320 million. It has been almost two weeks since The Electric State
was released, but it has yet to catch up to the speed, as it has still not reached the top 10 most-watched movies on the platform. Currently, it is ranked as the 51st best movie launch for Netflix, which is not expected from a movie with such big stars.

On the other hand, The Life List
, which also stars Kyle Allen and Connie Britton and was made on a relatively small budget, has become the number one movie on Netflix
. The fans’ reviews are also turning out to be favorable and commend Carson for her sincere performance. This might be a disappointment for Brown, but a big win for Carson, who is elated.
Sofia Crason is ecstatic after her movie rules the world
As her movie became numbero uno, she quickly took to Instagram to express her joy and thanked them. In the caption, she wrote, “The Life List is the #1
.
Movie. In. The. Whole. Wide. World. Thank you for loving my Alex Rose
as deeply as I loved being her”.
This is another continuous win for Carson, who has just enjoyed the exhilarating success of another movie, Carry On
, as the 3rd top movie of all time on Netflix.
It took some time for Sofia Carson to make the audience notice her, but now that she has got their attention, she is not letting it slip away with the help of her spellbinding performances.
