The 355 had a reported Netflix Top 10 resurgence after a weak theatrical run, but the public evidence does not show that it became profitable or reveal how many people watched it. Box Office Mojo records about $27.8 million in worldwide theatrical gross; Tom’s Guide reported the film reached Netflix’s U.S. Top 10 in August 2025. Those figures describe two different kinds of performance, and neither establishes the film’s overall financial result.

What happened to The 355 at the box office?

Box Office Mojo records The 355’s theatrical gross as $14,570,455 in the United States and Canada and $13,257,290 internationally, for $27,827,745 worldwide. Its domestic release began January 7, 2022, with a $4,621,765 opening weekend. These are gross ticket receipts, not the amount the studio kept after theaters, distribution costs, production expenses, and marketing. Box Office Mojo’s film record does not provide enough information to calculate the movie’s profit or loss.

Calling the theatrical run a flop is shorthand for its weak box-office result, not a complete accounting verdict. Without reliable production and marketing costs and the relevant distribution terms, a precise loss figure cannot be established.

What does the Netflix Top 10 report prove?

Tom’s Guide reported that The 355 arrived on Netflix in the United States on August 21, 2025, and quickly entered the service’s Top 10. That supports describing a reported streaming chart resurgence after the theatrical run. It does not establish a specific audience size, streaming revenue, or a financial turnaround. Tom’s Guide’s August 2025 report is a secondary account of the chart appearance.

Netflix explains that its weekly Top 10 rankings are based on viewing, and it publishes viewing figures for many titles. However, the official weekly article for the week of August 18, 2025 does not mention The 355 or give it a rank or view total. A chart appearance is evidence of attention on the service, not a public financial statement. Netflix’s explanation of its viewing data describes the service’s reporting approach; it does not supply a film-specific total here.

The theatrical and streaming results are not directly comparable

Measure What is reported What it can establish
Theatrical $27,827,745 worldwide gross recorded by Box Office Mojo; domestic release January 7, 2022. Recorded ticket receipts, not net revenue or profit.
Netflix Tom’s Guide reported a U.S. Top 10 appearance after the film arrived August 21, 2025; no film-specific viewing total is established by the official weekly article reviewed. A reported chart resurgence, not an audience count, streaming revenue, or proof of profitability.

The box-office total is a monetary gross from theatrical sales. The Netflix report is a chart-placement claim without a public title-specific view count in the official weekly article. Comparing the numbers as if they measured the same thing would be misleading; the available evidence does not show whether streaming economics outweighed theatrical losses.

What is The 355 about?

The 355 is a 2022 spy action thriller directed by Simon Kinberg, who co-wrote the screenplay with Theresa Rebeck. It follows CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown, German agent Marie, former MI6 ally and computer specialist Khadijah, and Colombian psychologist Graciela as they pursue a stolen weapon while a mysterious woman tracks them. The cast includes Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz, Bingbing Fan, Diane Kruger, Lupita Nyong’o, Édgar Ramírez, and Sebastian Stan. Universal classifies it as action, suspense, independent, and thriller; its rating is PG-13 for strong violence, brief strong language, and suggestive material. The listed runtime is 2 hours 3 minutes. Universal’s film page provides the synopsis, credits, rating, runtime, and formats.

Where can you watch or own The 355?

Netflix availability varies by country and can change. Tom’s Guide reported the U.S. arrival in August 2025, while a Japanese Netflix title page currently says the film is unavailable there. That regional listing is not a guarantee about availability elsewhere or at another time; check the Netflix catalog in your country. Netflix’s Japanese title listing shows the country-specific status.
