A day after Jamie Foxx's emotional health update, his newest movie has hit No. 1 on Netflix. They Cloned Tyrone, which arrived on the streaming service on July 21, is at the tippy-top of Netflix's Top 10 movies list. 

They Cloned Tyrone, which Foxx also produced, is a sci-fi comedy that features the actor as Slick Charles, a pimp in a retro-futuristic town called The Glen, wherein people who are clearly killed suddenly begin returning like nothing happened (obviously, the title gives away a bit here).

Part of Foxx's recent outreach to fans about his ongoing recovery included a prompt for fans to watch They Cloned Tyrone, as he said, "I just want you to remember me for the jokes that I crack, the movies that I make — some of them good, some of them ain't — I think I've got a good one out."

He went on to add a They Cloned Tyrone-themed joke about the conspiracies that arose about his condition, saying, "Some people talk about I'm cloned. Well, check this out [he then pretends to take his face off]. Just kidding. I'm not cloned." Read Jamie Foxx's full message here.

This is the second major feature film Foxx has starred in for Netflix, following the 2020 sci-fi actioner Project Power, which also dominated the Top 10. 

They Cloned Tyrone is currently trailed on Netflix's Top 10 movies list by Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Ride Along, Bird Box: Barcelona, The Outlaws, Unknown: Cave of Bones, Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, The Deepest Breath, 65 and Boss Baby.

They Cloned Tyrone is now available to stream on Netflix.
