Red Notice is supposed to be the most successful film on Netflix, with over 364 million views recorded in the first 28 days.
Last year in February, Lawrence was injured during the shooting of "Don't Look Up" in Boston. According to Deadline, the incident happened when a planned explosion in the early-morning hours of Friday went awry, sending glass flying and cutting Lawrence near her eye.
The extent of Lawrence's injury was not known but the Oscar winner was recuperating. Production was halted for the day after the accident. Directed by Adam McKay, "Don't Look Up" also features Leonardo DiCaprio alongside a host of actors including Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Timothee Chalamet, Jonah Hill, Himesh Patel, Matthew Perry, singer Ariana Grande, Melanie Lynskey and Ron Perlman.
Lawrence and DiCaprio play two astronomers, who, upon discovering that a meteor will strike the Earth in six months, go on a media tour to try to warn the world but find an unreceptive and unbelieving populace. McKay, known for critically-acclaimed movies such as "Vice" and "The Big Short", directed the drama from his own script.
