Back in Action,” a new Netflix film starring Diaz alongside Jamie Foxx, was the streamer’s most-watched title during the week of Jan. 13-19. With only three days of availability, the film hit 46.8 million views - the biggest opening weekend for an English-language film on Netflix since

Back in Action' director Seth Gordon tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that Jamie Foxx was Cameron Diaz's 'biggest cheerleader' as she returned to acting with her first movie in more than a decade.
