Enola Holmes 3 sees viewership dip and mixed critical response on Netflix

Netflix released *Enola Holmes 3* on July 1, starring Millie Bobby Brown and directed by Philip Barantini. The film quickly topped the platform’s charts in more than 70 countries and recorded about 20.7 million views in its first five days. However, viewership fell sharply compared with the previous installment, with only roughly 12 million watchers in the opening three days versus 29.3 million for *Enola Holmes 2* – a decline of about 58 %.

Critical reaction was mixed. Rotten Tomatoes gave the sequel a 68 % approval rating and Metacritic a weighted 60 % score, noting uneven pacing but praising Brown’s mature performance and the film’s anti‑colonial themes. Reviewers highlighted the fresh chemistry of the cast, including Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter, while some found the plot over‑extended for its runtime.

During the press tour, Brown and co‑star Louis Partridge engaged in playful banter, delivering a series of humorous interview moments that kept audiences entertained and added to the film’s publicity buzz.
