"Leave the World Behind" was supposed to be released on October 25, but due to a writers' strike, the first screening was postponed to November 22 in theaters, and December 8 (12/8) on the Netflix platform.
The scene on the beach with the tanker - Archie Sandford gets a message from a girl. What's interesting is the gematria of the address and what the characters say at that moment.
"Sag Harbor NY" = 1109 (Standard)
"Sag Harbor NY" = 128 (Ordinal).
Both numbers are related to the attack on the WTC towers. And the number 128 may be a simplification of the date of actor Matthew Perry's death (10/28 dropping the zero is "128").
Interestingly, Archie asks his mother to see if the place is far away from them, to which his mother replies - about an hour away, and Archie's sister says "getting closer", meaning a tanker with the gematria of the name 128. The actresses have birthdays on October 28 and October 29.
Next, the tanker crashes into the beach and the family hurries back to the house.
A scene in which Amanda looks at the children frolicking in the pool, comparing everything to another episode of a certain TV show. The only TV show mentioned in the movie is Friends, which Amanda's daughter likes to watch.
And then at 17 minutes 8 seconds from the beginning of the movie (1028th second!) there's a visual overlay of the eclipse and the tablet with the latest episode of Friends. Are you kidding me?
"Check connection?" Close-up of a clock with the hand frozen exactly opposite 56! - On the day of Perry's death, Julia Roberts turned 56.

And then there is the episode of Jenga, when Amanda hears a noise downstairs and asks her husband to get a bat (baseball bat/batman). Shortly before his death, Matthew compared himself to Batman.
And this in turn refers to the movie "Fools rush in" where Perry's character in one of the scenes in the bathtub wore a Yale T-shirt with crossed bats ("bats") when arguing with his wife and listening to accusations of racism. The name of the tanker "White Lion" with gematria 128 emphasizes this reference, as it is the name of the first ship that brought the first shipment of black slaves in 1619 (there are a bunch of other references to slavery, racism, and the Civil War later in the film).
