The Daily Wire’s first-ever feature-length comedy “Lady Ballers” is the number one most popular movie to stream in the country, according to Rotten Tomatoes.
The film, which can be streamed exclusively on DailyWire+, took the top spot on Rotten Tomatoes list of most popular streaming movies on Tuesday. The film has an audience score of 95%, with more than 2,500 reviews on the online aggregator of movie reviews.
“Lady Ballers” is directed by the company’s co-founder Jeremy Boreing, who also stars in the film alongside Daily Wire sports show “Crain & Co.” hosts. The movie tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach, Rob, who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.
It is followed on the streaming list by “May December,” which stars Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore and is available on Netflix.
Boreing says the “Lady Ballers” launch has been the most successful in the company’s history.
Thank you to everyone who helped give Lady Ballers the biggest launch in @dailywireplus history.

“I knew it would be funny, but I hadn’t considered Daily Wire’s ability to tell stories with good values and morals, (which of course is the case) The end was phenomenal! Way to go [Daily Wire]. You knocked it out of the park!” another post read.
