Released on October 4, the David Beckham movie has dominated the Netflix streaming charts in 53 countries, reaching the top 1 globally in the series category and receiving perfect scores on film sites. The movie quickly took the number 1 spot on Netflix's English TV shows chart with a total of 12.4 million views (as of October 8).
The film tells the story of David Beckham's love for football and his wife Victoria, while revealing the "secret" stories throughout the famous couple's career and family life.
According to Social Blade, after only 3 days, the film has brought a positive effect to the Beckham brand, helping the former player gain 500,000 more followers. This proves that after more than three decades, David Beckham is still the most attractive name in the world, not only to football fans but even to those who are not familiar with this king sport .
Beckham is not limited to the main character's self-narration. Throughout the 4 episodes, director Fisher Stevens tried to connect the audience with Victoria, David's parents, his best friend, his former coach, his former teammates at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and even those who were opponents or disliked the male player to exploit a more multi-dimensional perspective of him.
The film makes the audience realize that success did not come easily or smoothly to David Beckham.
According to media, the 48-year-old former footballer owns up to 3 different companies. One company called Footwork Productions has a turnover of more than 208.4 million pounds, including revenue related to David's football, exploiting the copyrights of David Beckham's name and image.
Co-owned by the couple along with former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, the £260.8m turnover Beckham Brand Holdings owns David's image as well as Victoria Beckham's fashion business.
Beckham's company, DB Ventures, handles his endorsement deals. The brand is currently making a profit of £90 million, according to The Mirror . DB Ventures' income comes from David's advertising campaigns with Pepsi, Samsung, H&M, Haig and Adidas.
David Beckham is also the majority owner of the Kent & Curwen fashion brand. The former footballer is also a co-owner of a football club called Miami in the US.
