Jason Statham movies tend to be a variation of the same thing over and over (and “variation” might be quite generous). But he has found his fanbase in a way that so few modern action stars have. For those who have faced Statham burnout, did we really need another movie about kicking ass in the name of vengeance? As it turned out, The Beekeeper was actually pretty damn good – so where’s that sequel?

Timo Tjahjanto – who will be taking over directing duties from David Ayer – said that he’s officially underway figuring out where to shoot The Beekeeper sequel. He also discussed what draws him to the story. “I was, literally two days ago, I was in London scouting for locations [for Beekeeper 2], and now I’m here in LA, but I love…I can’t wait, to be honest, because, you know, Beekeeper is obviously one of those movies where...

The Ice Cube-starring "War of the Worlds" remake is one of Prime Video's most-watched movies, but not everyone is a fan of the latest adaptation of H.G. Wells' classic sci-fi story. As of this writing, the Rich Lee-directed flick is officially ranked at number 88 in Rotten Tomatoes' 100 worst movies of all time list, which is a remarkable achievement for a flick that only came out at the end of July.

"War of the Worlds" is an updated version of Wells' story, with the movie utilizing contemporary technology to inform its storytelling (but not in an exciting way). The plot follows Will Radford (Cube), a Department of Home Security surveillance expert who is used to dealing with everyday threats such as virtual attacks. One day, however, he is forced to contend with an alien invasion that risks destroying the planet and soon realizes that his government might be keeping secrets.

A movie starring Jason Statham and Clive Owen is making a splash with at-home audiences more than a decade after flopping in theaters. Clive Owen is an Oscar-nominated actor who is best known for his roles in movies such as Closer, Inside Man, and Children of Men. Collectively, his movies have grossed nearly $2 billion worldwide.

Meanwhile, Jason Statham movies have grossed more than $8 billion worldwide. This is partially due to a number of franchises in which he is part of a star-studded ensemble, such as The Expendables and Fast and Furious. However, he has also had numerous successes as a leading man, including The Meg, Crank, and The Transporter.

Killer Elite Is Surging On Streaming

Now, 2011's Killer Elite is thriving on streaming more than a decade after disappointing in theaters. The movie is based on the 1991 novel The Feather Menby Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who is no relation to Oscar-nominated...

A viral Prime Video sci-fi movie has escaped its 0% Rotten Tomatoes fate after receiving a positive critical review. From the critically acclaimed Interstellarto the more recent Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the streaming platform is home to a variety of science fiction movies.

With new titles regularly added to the platforms, some of the latest in-theater movies being added include 28 Years Later, Jurassic World Rebirth, The Occupant, and Dangerous Animals. Several new straight-to-streaming movies from the studio behind Ben Affleck's The Accountant 2 and Jason Statham's Beekeeper have also arrived on the platform recently, with some ending up on the streamer's Top 10 chart.

Eddie Murphy's action comedy The Pickup, arrived on August 6, is currently the No.1 most popular movie on Prime Video, and it's followed by another new addition.

Exclusive: Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber have sold Netflix on the pitch for The Leading Man, an action comedy based on the comic book series from Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore, to star and be produced by Kevin Hart and John Cena.

The project brings the Hoebers back to Netflix following the sale of their original script Fast & Loose, an actioner to star Will Smith, which is currently in pre-production and looking for a new director.

In early development, pic’s logline is as follows: When a self-absorbed movie star (Cena) discovers that his co-star/man in the chair (Hart) is an actual agent, he’s forced to swallow his pride and accept that action stars aren’t really action heroes…while trying to save the world.

Hart will produce alongside Luke Kelly-Clyne and Bryan Smiley for Hartbeat, under the company’s multi-film deal with Netflix, along with...

The biggest franchisee under Jason Statham’s belt is certainly the Fast & Furious, but long before he ever stepped into the shoes of Deckard Shaw, he starred in a string of action movies that were beloved, and one of them has returned to streaming charts. Statham stars alongside Matthew Modine (Stranger Things) and Jason Flemyng in Transporter 2, the sequel to his 2002 action movie that follows Frank Martin (Statham), who surfaces in Miami, Florida, only to be implicated in the kidnapping of the son of a powerful US official.Transporter 2 is currently streaming on Hulu in the United States and on various platforms like Rakuten TV and TF1 globally, where it’s charting in the top 10 in countries such as France and Iceland.

Transporter 2 earned “Rotten” scores of 52% from critics and 58% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but the film had no trouble finding financial success. It grossed $89 million...

Jason Statham’s Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is getting a surprising second wind on streaming after its disappointing box office run in 2023. The movie is currently trending at #9 on Hulu in the United States.

The spy thriller is directed by Guy Ritchie, who gave Statham his first break in the '90s with Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and since then, the two have worked together on a total of five movies. Operation Fortune features Statham as Orson Fortune, a slick MI6 operative tasked with retrieving a stolen weapon before it is auctioned off to the highest bidder. The film pairs Statham with Aubrey Plaza, Hugh Grant, and Josh Hartnett. Despite a stellar cast, the moviefailed to break even and only collected $48.9 million worldwide with a production budget of $50 million. The film is now streaming at #9 on Hulu in the U.S., and #3 on Catchplay+ in Indonesia.

Few action stars have built up as impressive a resume as Gerard Butler has over the years, but after starring in 20 years worth of action movies, it’s only natural that there’s going to be some misses. 2016 brought on the release of Gods of Egypt, the fantasy thriller in which Butler stars alongside Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) and Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther). The controversial film had been absent from streaming for a few months now, but Netflix has since made it available to watch for all subscribers. Gods of Egypt was poorly received upon its release, earning “Rotten” scores of 15% from critics and 37% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also flopped at the box office, grossing only $150 million at the box office against a $140 million budget.

Gods of Egypt was met with harsh criticism upon its release for poor casting choices, particularly the whitewashing extremely present in...

From globe-trotting action to an epic musical, here’s what to stream.

Prime Video has been on a serious roll lately, especially when it comes to action comedies, and I am so here for it. It’s one of my favorite genres, and Prime Video has been dropping a steady stream of big, funny, explosion-filled movies (including the latest one starring Eddie Murphy!). It honestly feels like they’re using these as warm-ups before the next “James Bond” movie — which Amazon now fully controls — and if that’s the case, keep practicing so as not to mess with one of the best franchises of all time. Between these newer titles, some underrated sequels, and a few all-time crowd-pleasers, I went back through everything and pulled the seven best movies streaming on Prime Video right now. Whether you’re into treasure hunts, buddy comedies, or full-blown musical magic, here’s where I’d start.

Snatch is a popular VOD hit globally, earning high audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes. Jason Statham recently celebrated his 58th birthday and has multiple action projects coming up. Guy Ritchie directed Snatch and has collaborated with Statham on multiple action films.

Jason Statham has become known as one of the most legendary action performers of all time, but everyone has to start somewhere. After first starring in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, Statham’s second feature acting role came in Snatch, the 2000 caper crime comedy following a group of boxing promoters, bookmakers, and gangsters who work together to track down a stolen diamond. Snatch is currently streaming for free on Pluto TV in America, but globally, it’s resurfaced in the top 10 on VOD charts in countries such as Latvia and France. The film also stars Brad Pitt (F1: The Movie) and Stephen Graham (Peaky Blinders), and it earned...

A new challenger has entered the Top 10 on MGM+. Ben Affleck's 1998 sci-fi disaster film Armageddon has arrived on the streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, as of Aug. 7, Armageddon is ranked No. 10 on MGM+'s Top 10 Overall chart in the United States. Much like the asteroid in the movie, Armageddon has burst onto the streaming chart and will now try to climb up the ranks as a worthy group of hit shows and movies try to stop its climb. First in Armageddon's path is Jason Statham's 2024 sleeper hit The Beekeeper at No. 9, followed by the fan-favorite '80s buddy cop movie Lethal Weapon at No. 8 and Jack Quaid's action-comedy Novocaine at No. 7. Luckily for Armageddon, Lethal Weapon and Novocaine are down from where they were yesterday, which suggests that they may be on their way off the streaming chart.

Three of the final six streaming hits on...

It wasn't too long ago that Lionsgate went all in on the Expendables film franchise. An all-female spin-off was in the works, and Jason Statham was primed to take over from Sylvester Stalloneas the lead. But last year's Expend4blesbrought all those plans to a halt. The movie tanked at the box office, grossing just $16 million domestically and $50 million worldwide, against a reported budget of $100 million. For context, Statham's last solo release, A Working Man, grossed around $16 million in its domestic debut alone earlier this year. The last time that the Expendables franchise saw success, particularly in overseas markets, was over a decade ago, when The Expendables 3 defied the odds to gross $170 million internationally. Now, the film has been overtaken by the recently released superhero title The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Directed by Matt Shakman, The Fantastic Four recently passed the $200 million mark domestically, and is currently sitting at around $380 million worldwide.

Ben Wheatley’s latest film gets a creepy, thoroughly fascinating preview. Here’s the Bulk trailer.

You can always count of Ben Wheatley to serve us something weird and wonderful, but his latest film instructs us to “unexpect the expected”.

A trailer has been released for Wheatley’s new film Bulk and it looks absolutely bonkers, in the best possible way.

Take a look at the Bulk trailer:

In the “randomly chosen shots” we get glimpses of characters played by Sam Riley, Noah Taylor and Alexandra Maria Lara. There’s also something called “The Distortion Zone” and “The Brain Collider”. We haven’t got a clue what these are, but we’re excited to find out.

After pitting a big shark against Jason Statham in Meg 2: The Trench, Bulk marks Wheatley’s return to the style of his earlier work. There’s a little of A Field In England...

The 2025 film follows two armored truck drivers with totally different personalities who get ambushed by ruthless criminals and forced to rob a casino. The Pickup stars Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, Keke Palmer, Eva Longoria, Andrew Dice Clay, and Marshawn Lynch.

‎30 Minutes or Less is an action comedy film directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Michael Diliberti. The 2011 film follows Nick Davis, a hapless pizza boy who is strapped with a bomb and told to rob a bank by two idiotic ne’er-do-wells.

Rainn Wilson will always be known for his role as Dwight Schrute in The Office, but now the former Dunder Mifflin paper salesman has a new action comedy coming soon that just got a thrilling new look. Collider is happy to partner with Aura Entertainment and Wayfarer Studios to exclusively preview the first trailer for Code 3, the upcoming action comedy in which Wilson stars alongside Lil Rel Howery. Howery is known for his roles in Poker Face (Natasha Lyonne), Get Out (Daniel Kaluuya), and Free Guy (Ryan Reynolds), and he also recently cameo'd as himself in the first season of The Studio. Code 3 will debut in theaters nationwide later this year on September 12, and the film comes from writer Patrick Pianezza and director Christopher Leone.

Code 3 is based on Pianezza’s real experiences during his time as a paramedic. Aura officially debuted the first red band teaser...

Despite not finding favor among critics upon its release, this 2018 sci-fi movie, often considered horror, and starring Jason Statham, did pretty well at the box office. Titled The Meg, it hit theaters in the U.S. on August 10, 2018. Eventually, it made its way to various streaming homes over the years, including HBO Max in America and Netflix globally, where it has garnered even more attention.

Most recently, another streaming home has been added to the bunch, and unlike the others, it allows viewers to enjoy films and TV shows for absolutely free. Starting on August 1, The Meg was made available on Tubi, where it will play for an uncertain yet limited amount of time, joining a boatload of other popular titles that were added to the streamer just this month. Some of these titles are the four films in the Lethal Weapon franchise, Hotel Transylvania and its sequel, the Bring It On franchise,...

Alan Ritchson is hard at work filming Reacher Season 4 right now, but ahead of its arrival, the star’s biggest box office hit is tearing up streaming charts. Ritchson stars alongside Jason Statham and Vin Diesel in Fast X, the 2023 Fast & Furious movie following Dom Toretto and his family, who are the targets of a brutal vengeance campaign by drug kingpin Hernan Reyes (Jason Momoa). Fast X is streaming on Starz in the United States and on Netflix globally, but it’s quietly crept into the Starz top 10 in America, sitting at #8. The film earned scores of 56% from critics and 84% from audiences on the aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $704 million against a $340 million budget, which makes it one of the most expensive movies ever made.

Fast X recruited plenty of stars to bring the 10th Fast & Furious movie to life beyond Ritchson, Statham, and Momoa, though.

When people talk about movies that are "forgotten," they're probably referring to titles like Sabotage. Starring a massively talented cast, the film was directed by David Ayer and released theatrically in 2014. In fact, Ayer was coming off of the fantastic End of Watch, and he'd go on to direct the World War II drama Furyand the controversial DC Extended Universe blockbuster Suicide Squad. Sabotage was headlined by Arnold Schwarzenegger, one year before he made his comeback to the Terminator franchise with Terminator Genisys. And yet, the film earned terrible reviews and bombed at the box office. However, over a decade after its disappointing theatrical run, Sabotageis witnessing success on the domestic home video charts.

According to FlixPatrol, it was the fifth-most-watched film on Prime Video on August 5. Sabotage trailed the holdover hit Heads of State, which took the number four spot, behind Wicked, Uncharted, and the critically panned new War of the Worlds adaptation.

Ben Wheatley doesn’t sit still. That’s true in a genre sense – this is a filmmaker who’ll hop from harrowing horror, to wry comedy, to glossy period pieces (Rebecca) and thrillers (Free Fire), to gigantic global shark blockbusters (Meg 2: The Trench) from film to film. It’s also true in the sense that Wheatley rarely disappears for long. And since he served up 2023’s Jason Statham-starring megalodon sequel, Wheatley has been hard at work on not one but two new features (as well as last year's TV series Generation Z). For a while, we’ve known about the upcoming Bob Odenkirk-starring Normal. But he’s also been working away on a film titled Bulk – an experimental sci-fi film which looks anything but… well, normal. Watch the trailer exclusively here.

Be it older classics like Saving Private Ryan or newer films like Greyhound, WWII movies will always hold a special place in film history. For those who are anxiously awaiting news of a new WWII movie, we're thrilled to exclusively preview a new image from the upcoming WWII thriller, Beast of War, as part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event. The image, which features star Joel Nankervis deep in the dangerous trenches covered in mud, can be found below.

Jason Statham's upcoming action thriller Mutiny has been delayed. Directed by Jean-Francois Richet, the movie stars Statham as Cole Reed, an employee who is set up to take the fall for his boss's murder. With a script from Lindsay Michel and J.P. Davis, the Beekeeper star is joined by Annabelle Wallis, Roland Moller, Jason Wong, Ben Catwright, and many others.

Earlier this year, Lionsgate announced that Mutiny would arrive on Jan. 9, 2025, in the week following Universal's M3GAN spin-off Soulm8te.

However, now, according to Deadline, Gerard Butler's Greenland 2: Migration has replaced Mutiny for the Jan. 9 slot, while Statham's new action thriller is eyeing a summer release. Presently, the movie doesn't have a date attached to it. It's also unclear what the reason is behind the delay.

What This Means For Mutiny

Mutiny began production in September 2024 and wrapped in November, and has been in post-production since the beginning of this year.

The long-awaited sequel to one of the best movies in the arsenal of action icon Gerard Butler has finally been given a release date. Thanks to roles in the likes of the Fallen franchise, Den of Thieves, Plane, and more, Gerard Butler has become a major draw for genre fans, and the actor is now all set to lead this highly anticipated post-apocalyptic follow-up.

Released back in December 2020, the first Greenland begins when scientists discover that fragments of a comet will hit Earth in a few days and cause the extinction of humanity. The only hope of survival is to take shelter in a group of bunkers in Greenland, with the story following Butler as father and husband John Garrity, who must fight through the chaos to get his family to safety before the comet collides with the planet.

The sequel, Greenland: Migration will pick up with the Garrity family several years later.

Action and Jason Statham fans just got some bad news. The genre icon’s upcoming thriller has now been delayed, meaning we will all have to wait a little longer to see The Stath once again ply his action hero trade and put his particular set of skills to good use.

Mutinysees Statham in the role as both star and producer as he joins forces with the director behind 2023’s acclaimed Gerard Butler-led action outing Plane, Jean-François Richet. Led by Jason Statham, the rest of the Mutiny cast includes Peaky Blinders and Malignant star Annabelle Wallis and Wrath of Man and The Gentlemen’s Jason Wong, as well as Roland Møller, Arnas Fedaravičius, and Adrian Lester.

While Mutiny was originally scheduled to land in theaters next year on January 9, 2026, Lionsgate has now revealed (via Variety), that the action outing will now hit the big screen in summer 2026 instead, with...

The end of the world is coming… again. Lionsgate has officially set Greenland 2: Migrationfor release on January 9, 2026, giving Gerard Butler fans their next dose of post-apocalyptic survival. The film takes over the date previously held by Jason Statham’s Mutiny, which will now move to a summer 2026 release. The sequel sees Butler reuniting with co-stars Morena Baccarin and Roman Griffith Davis, as the Garrity family is forced to leave the safety of their Greenland bunker to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home. Along the way, they’ll encounter both new allies and fresh dangers, with Amber Rose Revah, Sophie Thompson, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, and William Abadie joining the cast.

The original Greenland, released in 2020 at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, became an unexpected hit. Sidetracked from a traditional release by theater closures, the film scored a $20–$30 million HBO streaming deal in the U.S.

Jason Statham’s action-packed 2026 slate just hit a major snag. Lionsgate has officially pushed back Mutiny, the star’s next big-screen vehicle, from its original January 9, 2026 release date to an unspecified slot in summer 2026. The move comes as a direct consequence of the reshuffling prompted by Greenland 2: Migration—starring Gerard Butler—which will now take over that January date.

The delay is a notable bump in the road for Statham, especially after his recent collaboration with David Ayer, A Working Man, brought in just under $100 million worldwide. While the film was far from a flop and enjoyed an impressive 87% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, its box office fell short of expectations following the duo’s previous hit, The Beekeeper, which earned $162 million globally.

While release date shifts are common in Hollywood, the timing of Mutiny’s move underscores a more strategic approach. With Greenland 2 primed for January,...

Lionsgate will release Greenland 2: Migration starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin in North America on January 9, 2026.

The sequel to STX’s 2020 Covid release – which skipped cinemas in North American but earned $52m internationally – follows the Garrity family as they traverse a shattered world in the wake of a comet strike.

Ric Roman Waugh directs from a screenplay by Mitchell Lafortune and Chris Sparling. Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, Butler, Alan Siegel, Sébastien Raybaud, John Zois, Brendon Boyea, and Waugh serve as producers.

The film is produced by Anton, STX Entertainment, Thunder Road Pictures and G-base Entertainment. STX handles international distribution...

Mark Wahlberg's new heist thriller, Play Dirty, receives a Prime Video release date and reveals its first image. Co-written and directed by Shane Black – best known for Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys, and The Predator (2018) – the upcoming crime thriller follows a thief attempting a high-stakes heist that pits him against a South American dictator, the New York mafia, and the wealthiest man on the planet.

In addition to Wahlberg in the lead role, the cast also includes Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield (Judas and the Black Messiah), Rosa Salazar, Dermot Mulroney, four-time Emmy winner Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Emmy winner Keegan-Michael Key (Key and Peele), Nat Wolff, Dcu and MCU star Chukwudi Iwuji, Thomas Jane, and Saskia Archer.

Now, via Collider's Exclusive Preview event, a first-look image from Play Dirty has been revealed, showing its two stylish leads, Wahlberg and Stanfield, on their way to their next mission. Play Dirty...

Shane Black is back in action with a new crime thriller that featuresMark Wahlbergand Lakeith Stanfieldas a pair of criminals who embark on a heist of a lifetime. The action caper hails from Amazon MGM Studios, which has decided to release the upcoming film exclusively on streaming later this year.

Collider has unveiled the first look at Amazon's Play Dirty, which is set to premiere on Prime Video on October 1. Wahlberg and Stanfield are featured as a pair of elite thieves, who will be joined by Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel) in the film. Stanfield is playing a con artist named Grofield, while Wahlberg is set to portray Parker, who is based on the protagonist of Donald E. Westlake's crime novels. As the first look teases, Parker will be working closely with his partner-in-crime, Grofield, to pull off the heist of his career and take revenge on those who double-crossed him.

Streaming audiences cannot get enough of Jason Statham. At any given time, the actor has at least one or two movies dominating the streaming charts.

According to FlixPatrol, as of Aug. 4, The Beekeeper is ranked No. 10 on MGM+'s Top 10 in the United States, down two spots from the day before. The 2024 action movie has been bouncing between the last few spots on the streamer's Top 10 list for the past week, as Statham fans discover (or rediscover) the well-received David Ayer-directed hit. This isn't the first time that The Beekeeper has performed well on an Amazon-owned streaming service, as the action movie was also frequently in the Top 10 on Prime Video last month.

Unlike Amazon MGM Studios' recent action movie Heads of State, which went straight to Prime Video, The Beekeeper was given a theatrical release, which paid off big time for the studio, as it became a sleeper hit,...

Prime Video has assembled a crack team of thieves for their next film, Play Dirty, and in just under two months, they'll be sent out for the biggest job of their lives. The new heist thriller from the mind of Iron Man 3 director Shane Black will kick off the month of October on the platform with plenty of action and a star-studded cast led by Mark Wahlberg and Lakeith Stanfield. Ahead of its release, we're excited to share a new image of the two sharp-dressed stars strolling up to their next mission as part of Collider's Exclusive Preview event for upcoming movies. The pair will also be joined by Rosa Salazar for the operation, which will pit them against international power players in their attempts to strike it big.

Play Dirty is based on the Parker series of novels, particularly the first installment, 1962's The Hunter, created by...

Jason Statham’s next action movie gets closer by the day, but ahead of its arrival in theaters, one of his more recent classics is gaining steam on streaming charts. Statham stars alongside Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) and Jeremy Irons (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) inThe Beekeeper, the 2024 John Wick-esque action thriller following a man pulled out of retirement to search for vengeance after someone close to him dies. The Beekeeper is currently streaming on Prime Video in the United States and globally, where it remains one of the most popular movies in countries such as the Philippines, Thailand, and Lebanon. The film grossed $162 million against a $40 million budget, following its strong reception with scores of 71% from critics and 92% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Beekeeper immediately drew comparisons to Keanu Reeves’ first outing as John Wick upon release. Although a sequel to the film is in the works,...

HBO Max is serving up a thrilling mix of films that have viewers glued to their screens this week. From spine-chilling horror to quirky comedies and action-packed adventures, the platform’s latest lineup has something for everyone, pulling in crowds with fresh releases and nostalgic favorites.

We’ve got a diverse range of titles dominating the charts, with new additions like ‘Final Destination: Bloodlines’ hitting theaters and others like ‘Sinners’ and ‘A Minecraft Movie’ making a splash after their streaming debuts in July 2025.

August 16 will be a very good day for the Fast & Furious franchise. The sprawling action movie franchise had humble beginnings, kicking off with the 2001 action-crime racing movie The Fast and the Furious. Since then, the movies have featured increasingly high-octane stunts, including cars parachuting from a cargo plane.

The franchise, which will be continuing with the upcoming Fast 11, boasts an ever-expanding star-studded ensemble cast, featuring well-known actors including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Gal Gadot, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Helen Mirren, Charlize Theron, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Jason Momoa, Sung Kang, Jordana Brewster, and Kurt Russell.

Netflix has now announced via an Instagram post that seven of the Fast & Furious movies will be coming to the streaming platform on August 16. This includes the first three movies as well as Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, Furious 7, and the spinoff movie Hobbs & Shaw.

Ben Stiller’s over-the-top performance as the villainous White Goodman keeps us laughing. It’s a lighthearted, feel-good flick with quotable...

Since its premiere in 2022, From has remained one of the most beloved horror shows in recent memory. Standing at a near-perfect score of 96% on the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, From is a rare gem. The MGM+ drama starring Harold Perrrineau has gained a cult following despite being in the subconscious of the general television landscape. However, subscribers on the streaming platform have been watching it consistently, keeping it in the top ten of the most popular shows in the streamers' library. According to FlixPatrol, the show occupies third place in the list, coming closely behind Stephen King's The Institute and Jason Statham-led A Working Man. From remains the leader in the list in terms of duration in the top 10, having been on it for over 170 days. So far, three seasons of the drama show have aired, with the fourth in production.

In From, a group of strangers find...

It may have flopped in theaters, but Jason Statham's stylish 2023 spy thriller Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is enjoying a surprising comeback—this time, for free. Directed by Guy Ritchie, the action-comedy hybrid was all but swallowed by a stacked release calendar in early 2023, when it had the misfortune of opening against John Wick: Chapter 4, Creed III, and Scream VI. Despite a $50 million budget and a globe-trotting premise, the film managed just $48.9 million worldwide, missing the mark and quickly fading from the box office conversation. But now? It's quietly become a streaming hit—and fans are rediscovering what they missed the first time around.

After rolling out across various streaming platforms like Hulu, Peacock, and Starz, Operation Fortune has now made its free streaming debut on Tubi. The result? A groundswell of late-blooming appreciation from Statham and Ritchie fans alike. The film stars Statham as elite spy Orson Fortune,...

Long before making the 2025 “The Naked Gun” reboot, writer/director Akiva Schaffer was a student of the original spoof films, “Airplane!” (1980), “Top Secret”(1984), and “The Naked Gun” (1988). There were rules to those Zaz films, one of which was casting classically trained dramatic actors — but acting wasn’t the only thing they played straight.

“This whole thing that they invented with ‘Airplane’ — I might be wrong, maybe someone did it before them — but what Zaz was doing that was so special was all dramatic actors and the dramatic story, and then treating everything – wardrobe, lighting, sets — as the dramatic version,” said Schaffer. “That’s tpart I was definitely taking with me into this one.”

When Schaffer was on this week’s episode of the Filmmaker Toolkit podcast, he explained how leaning into the gravitas (and persona) of Liam Neeson, seemingly unaware of the absurdity of what he was saying or doing,...

Per FlixPatrol, Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, which was released in 2023, is, as of Aug. 1, the No. 3 most-streamed movie on Hulu in the U.S. Only The Amateur and Locked, which hold the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, respectively, are ahead of Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre.

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre was directed by Ritchie, who co-wrote the script for the film with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. The film follows Statham’s character, a special agent/spy named Orson Fortune, as he works to obtain a stolen high-tech item known as “the Handle” before Greg Simmonds (Hugh Grant) can take it to auction.

Both Jason Statham and Guy Ritchie made their feature film debuts with 1998’s Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. The movie marked the first theatrical release for both writer-director Ritchie and star Statham, who would later rise to massive success as an action star.

The duo...

Actor Jason Statham is no stranger to starring in movies that put his characters into perilous situations. In 2018, Statham led a creature feature that drew comparisons to Steven Spielberg’s 1975 film, Jaws.

The Meg, which dropped on HBO Max in Jul., is now climbing up the streaming charts, according to FlixPatrol. The movie, which also stars Bingbing Li (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Rainn Wilson (The Office), and Ruby Rose (Orange is the New Black), is in the No. 7 spot in HBO’s Top 10 Movies in the U.S. It’s ahead of I Love You Forever, A Minecraft Movie, and Fahrenheit 451 on the platform.

Despite its 47% Rotten Tomatoes critic score and 44% audience score,The Meg was a massive success, earning $529 million against a budget of around $130 million. It also spawned the 2023 sequel Meg 2: The Trench. Statham stars in The Meg as deep-sea diver Jonas Taylor. Jonas is hired...

Jason Statham continues his streaming chart dominance, as his $529 million smash-hit action movie from seven years ago takes a bite of out of the HBO Max top 10.

Statham’s status as a streaming superstar was amply demonstrated in late May 2025 when three of his movies – A Working Man, Wrath of Man and The Beekeeper – all hit the Prime Video top 10 at the same time.

The star’s next feature film, an action-thriller titled Mutiny, doesn’t release until 2026. In the meantime, there is no shortage of Statham content online for fans to stream, including one of his biggest-ever hits.

The Meg Re-Emerges On HBO Max’s Top Ten Streaming Chart It Comes In At Number Six

Seven years after chewing up the competition in the late summer of 2018, Statham’s giant-shark action movie The Meg has re-surfaced as a top-ten performer on HBO Max. Made for between $130 million and $178 million,...

Superman Worldwide Box Office: Less Than $10M Away From Beating The Meg ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

James Gunn’s Superman is moving closer to completing one month at the theaters. It has achieved several box office milestones and amassed over $500 million worldwide. The film is now on track to achieve yet another interesting feat soon. This will happen after it surpasses the global haul of The Meg and among Warner Bros Pictures-produced films. Keep scrolling for the deets.

The Dcu movie is the first film in the studio’s Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. Like Marvel, which breaks the timeline into Phases, James Gunn and Peter Safran seem to be differentiating movies as part of several chapters. The critics enjoyed the fun and vibrant vibe of the movie while praising David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult’s performances.

How much has the Dcu movie earned at the worldwide box office?...

Who would you say are the best current action stars? Tom Cruise? Jason Statham? Keanu Reeves? Donnie Yen? Dwayne Johnson? Well, guess what—all of those actors are over fifty. In fact, Cruise, Reeves, and Yen are all over sixty. A few of the most legendary action stars, all of whom are still cranking out movies—like Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Liam Neeson—are well over seventy. And Harrison Ford, Indiana Jones himself, is in his eighties.

So what, you might say—people get old. Deal with it. And that’s absolutely true. But there’s a huge vacuum in Hollywood that no one really addresses: where are the younger action heroes? Who is going to pick up the mantle once the legends are gone?

Of the names listed above, I’d expect Statham, Reeves, and Cruise to keep making action movies well into their seventies and beyond.

What do you get when you put together a legendary Chinese director and a cast led by Matt Damon (The Accountant 2) and global heartthrob Pedro Pascal (The Fantastic Four: First Steps)? Hollywood certainly believed that it had a hit in its hands with the historical epic The Great Wall, but the blockbuster ended up not meeting producers' expectations at the box office. Now — 9 years after it first premiered — the movie is finally a streaming hit on HBO Max. Why are viewers suddenly interested in it?

There are some elements that certainly help the popularity of The Great Wall on streaming platforms, but the biggest one is probably related to expectation. When you sit down to watch a movie at home, your commitment to it is different from when you actually leave your house to check it out at a movie theater. So when you realize that the "historical" movie...

Jason Statham will always be known for his role as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious movies, but three years after he joined the F&f universe, he starred alongside a Chief of War veteran for an action thriller dominating streaming charts. Statham features opposite Chief of War’s Cliff Curtis and Rainn Wilson (The Office) in The Meg, the 2018 kaiju thriller following a crew whose rescue mission to the bottom of the ocean is compromised by a giant, prehistoric shark. The Meg is currently streaming on HBO Max in the United States and Netflix globally, where it’s one of the top 10 movies in America and other countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco. The Meg earned scores of 47% from critics and 44% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $529 million at the box office against a $130 million budget.

The Meg may be billed as a kaiju action thriller, but...

Mark Wahlberg stars in Shane Black’s first film in seven years, Play Dirty, which is said to be going straight to Prime Video on the 1st October.

Update 31st July 2025: Writer-director Shane Black’s latest film, Play Dirty, could be heading straight to Prime Video without a cinema release. According to TheInSneider (via World of Reel), the thriller will skip cinemas altogether and appear on Amazon’s streaming service on the 1st October. That’s not that far into the future, given that we haven’t seen a trailer or much else in the way of promotion from its studio.

Play Dirty is another adaptation of Donald E Westlake’s 1962 novel The Hunter, with Mark Wahlberg playing the expert thief Parker, double-crossed and left for dead by his partner. Of the various films based on Parker, the most famous is surely John Boorman’s Point Blank from 1967.

Jason Statham’s most recent action epic found success at the box office and streaming on Amazon MGM+, but Netflix may have inadvertently spoiled two huge titles from the star coming soon. The streamer has opened tabs for both The Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw and Furious 7, and while they’re not available to stream now, it does present the option to remind subscribers when they are. This means both films will likely be available to stream on Netflix soon, possibly even at the beginning of next month. Both were mostly well-received by critics and audiences, and each found financial success. Statham is also expected to return to the Fast & Furious franchise in the 11th and final installment after Fast X teased his reprisal as Deckard Shaw.

Released in 2015, Furious 7 earned an 82% from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film also grossed $1.5 billion at the global box office.
