A disappointing box-office run or subpar reviews doesn’t necessarily mean a movie is finished. Streaming platforms have become an increasingly reliable place for films to find the audience they missed the first time around. Liam Neeson’s 2024 crime thriller In the Land of Saints and Sinners, for example, recently surged into Netflix’s top 10 two years after its theatrical release. And Netflix’s The Last Houseshot to No. 1 worldwide despite a miserable 27% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, one of this summer’s biggest box-office disappointments has pulled off a similar trick on Prime Video.
