Liam Neeson’s critically acclaimed action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun has already crossed the $50 million mark in the North American market but remains $3 million short of achieving the same milestone in international territories. With a worldwide tally of $99.3 million, the film is now on the verge of entering the coveted $100 million club at the global box office. Once it reaches that milestone, it will need an additional $5 million to break even, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule.

Having recently outgrossed several notable titles, including Train to Busan (2016), Southpaw (2015), Materialists (2025), A Working Man (2025), Talk to Me...

With a worldwide tally of $96.1 million (per Box Office Mojo), Liam Neeson’s action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun currently ranks among the top 30 highest-grossing movies of 2025. The film, made on a reported budget of $42 million, is yet to surpass its break-even point of $105 million, based on the 2.5x multiplier rule. Moreover, since the film is now available on digital platforms, it remains to be seen whether it can surpass the $100 million milestone at the global box office.

Despite this, The Naked Gun has recently outperformed several notable releases, including Train to Busan...

The streamer is adding a ton of exciting new titles, and we’ve gone through the full list to put together a curated selection of the best of the best. They include one of 2025’s best films, two action movies with unique story hooks, a gorgeous Gothic romance and a truly spooky horror movie.

Check out our list of the best new movies on Prime Video in September.

Focus Features Black Bag (2025)

Deliciously twisty, “Black Bag” is a ton of fun and one of the best underrated movies of the year.

After a month in theaters, Paramount's The Naked Gun reboot was released on PVOD platforms a few days ago. The movie is still playing in a rather strong 1,700-plus domestic theaters, but it will likely lose a significant chunk later this week. While The Naked Gunwas able to pass the $50 million milestone at the domestic box office before it debuted on home video, it will probably fall painfully short of its first and only global box office milestone. This would make it the second major Paramount release to do so this year, after Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.

Starring Tom Cruise, the big-budget action film concluded its box...

Universal Pictures has unveiled the chilling trailer for ‘The Black Phone 2,’ the highly anticipated sequel to Scott Derrickson’s 2022 horror hit. Returning to direct, Derrickson brings audiences back into the nightmarish world of The Grabber, with the terrifying story set to unfold in cinemas on October 17.

Four years after the events of the first film, Finn (Mason Thames) is now 17 and still haunted by the trauma of his abduction and escape. But true evil never dies—and the phone is ringing again. Ethan Hawke, in one of the most sinister roles of his career, reprises his haunting performance as The Grabber, whose vengeance reaches beyond the grave to torment Finn and his younger sister,...

Tony Dinozzo and Ziva David are together once more in “NCIS: Tony & Ziva,” but they’re not without problems.

The new spinoff series picks up after the pair reunited in Paris, and sees Tony and Ziva have now raising their daughter, Tali, together. But, when Tony’s security company is attacked, they must go on the run across Europe and figure out what’s going on.

Of course, taking place in a larger universe, you’re going to recognize some faces in “NCIS: Tony & Ziva.” Here’s who you need to know.

Young Finn hay have succeeded in putting an end to The Grabber's reign of terror at the end of the first movie, but we know that dead is just a word in this franchise, and the twisted serial killer returns from the grave to seek revenge in Black Phone 2.

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse have released the full trailer for Scott Derrickson's horror sequel, and it looks every bit as intense and terrifying as the previous film.

This time, Finn and his little sister find themselves being targeted by the spirit of The Grabber, who stalks the pair as a Freddy Krueger-style dream-demon.

Check out the trailer below along with a new poster,...

In 2022 Universal Pictures and Blumhouse’s horror phenomenon The Black Phone, from writer-director Scott Derrickson, received widespread critical acclaim and earned more than $160 million worldwide. In his review, Wamg’s Jim Batts says: “Derrickson is a skilled “spookster”, relying on quick cuts and those wanting their “fright fix” will be more than sated.”

Here’s your first look at the brand new trailer for Black Phone 2. The highly anticipated follow-up opens in theaters October 17.

Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again.

This looks so much like a slasher film...

Scott Derrickson has returned with a sequel to his hit 2022 horror thriller that saw Ethan Hawke kidnap and kill children as The Grabber. Although the serial killer met his demise in the film (spoiler alert), the sadistic villain is back for revenge. The new trailer for Black Phone 2 follows The Grabber taking his revenge on the one child that escaped his grasp, Finney (Mason Thames), and his sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).

Universal Pictures has unveiled a new trailer for Black Phone 2, which gives The Grabber a supernatural resurrection. The fantastical aspect of the sequel is nothing new to the franchise, as the original featured his past victims talking...

Jason Statham may be best known for his role as Deckard Shaw in the Fast & Furious franchise, but in 2011, he starred in another franchise-starter that has finally returned to streaming nearly 15 years later. Statham stars alongside the late Donald Sutherland (The Hunger Games) and Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma) in The Mechanic, the 2011 R-rated action movie following an elite hitman who teaches his craft to an apprentice with a connection to one of his previous victims. The Mechanic had previously been absent from streaming for months, but the film was recently added to Paramount+’s library on September 1.

The Mechanic had a run of streaming success near the end...

Universal Pictures has released the new trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, Black Phone 2, which is set to open in theaters on October 17. The film has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for strong violent content, gore, teen drug use, and language.

Four years ago, 13-year-old Finn killed his abductor and escaped, becoming the sole survivor of The Grabber. But true evil transcends death … and the phone is ringing again.

Four-time Academy Award nominee Ethan Hawke returns to the most sinister role of his career as The Grabber seeks vengeance on Finn (Mason Thames) from beyond the grave by menacing Finn’s younger sister, Gwen (Madeleine McGraw).

As Finn,...

With his roles in The Mechanic, Transporter, and the Fast & Furious franchise, Jason Statham has earned his place as one of the greatest action stars of all time. However, 13 years ago, he starred in one of his most underrated crime thrillers that has finally returned to streaming. Statham stars alongside Anson Mount (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Robert John Burke (Law & Order: Svu) in Safe, the 2012 action movie following an ex-cage fighter who helps protect a young girl being pursued by corrupt cops, the Triads, and the Russian Mob. Safe had previously been absent from all major streamers for months, but Paramount+ has swooped in and...

Jeremy Irons is joining Jason Statham in The Beekeeper 2, which is all set to start filming this autumn. More buzz here.

Appreciating I might have declared my liking for a fine Jason Statham movie in the past (ahem), I still rank 2023’s The Beekeeper as one of the most downright fun and entertainment in The Statham’s canon. Directed by David Ayer, it was just enough in on the joke of Statham tended to his honey, before going thoroughly mad with a conspiracy plot that, er, goes a few places.

The same creative partnership of Statham and Ayer then gave us this year’s A Working Man, a resolutely...

After crossing the $50 million mark at the domestic box office, Liam Neeson’s action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun is now approaching the coveted $100 million worldwide figure. With a current global haul of $95.3 million, the film is less than $5 million away from achieving the milestone. After surpassing several popular films from 2025, including Materialists, A Working Man, The Monkey, and I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Naked Gun has now become the thirtieth-highest-grossing title of the year.

As it steadily inches toward $100 million figure globally, The Naked Gun is now closing in on the lifetime earnings...

Jason Stathamhas carved a niche for himself in the action genre playing a lone wolf out for revenge, and he does it really well. From the Transporter franchise to The Beekeeper, the man is loved for his death-defying action sequences and a stare that can kill. While some of these films do moderate business at the box office, they ultimately get their due on streaming, where they often make it to the top of the charts, entertaining fans worldwide. One movie among them is A Working Man, which has a new streaming home starting September 3.

The Naked Gun Worldwide Box Office ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

After nearly a month in theaters, Liam Neeson’s action-comedy The Naked Gun has grossed $89.1 million worldwide. This makes the latest Naked Gun movie the highest-grossing installment in the franchise. Recently, it also surpassed the worldwide totals of several 2025 titles, including Jason Statham action-thriller A Working Man, the star-studded rom-com Materialists, and the I Know What You Did Last Summer sequel.

With a reported $42 million budget, The Naked Gun would need to hit roughly $105 million globally to break even. While turning a profit at the box office looks difficult at this stage, the film is nevertheless on the verge of outgrossing a Final Destination entry.

With a current global haul of $86.5 million, Liam Neeson’s critically acclaimed action-comedy sequel The Naked Gun is on track to outgross The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear and become the franchise’s highest-grossing entry. However, with stiff competition from Zach Cregger’s horror hit Weapons, Marvel’s superhero film The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and other recent releases, it looks unlikely that the film will cross the $100 million mark worldwide.

As The Naked Gun continues its box office run, it is now poised to surpass the...

Jason Statham had already made his mark on Hollywood before the release of A Working Man this year, but his highest-grossing film ever, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary, has become a global sensation on streaming. Statham stars alongside Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel in Furious 7, the 2015 Fast & Furious movie tracking the dangerous Deckard Shaw (Statham), who seeks revenge against Dom Toretto (Diesel) and his family. Furious 7 is currently streaming on Netflix in America, where it's breached the top 5, as people get reacquainted with the Fast "fambly." Furious 7 earned a franchise-highcertified fresh 82% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and an 82% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter — thanks in...

An action remake starring one of the action genre's most prominent faces, Jason Statham, lands a new streaming home this fall. Statham's star-studded thriller, The Mechanic, fixes up a streaming premiere on Paramount+ this September.

Paramount+ has confirmed the arrival of several movies next month, with The Mechanic set to hit the popular streaming service on Sept. 1. The film is otherwise available to stream via Peacock or to rent/purchase on multiple digital platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.

Directed by Simon West, with whom Statham would later collaborate on The Expendables 2 and other projects, The Mechanic sees Statham star alongside the late Donald Sutherland, Ben Foster and Tony Goldwyn.

There is a moral tension at the heart of movies about criminals that often goes unspoken. Namely, the idea that crime is generally not something to aspire to or be proud of. This morality is essentially conventional wisdom and doesn't require being stated outright, certainly not after the days of the Hays Code imposing some sort of moral message on numerous crime movies. Most crime films made after the collapse of the production code took one of several approaches, such as presenting criminals in the form of a grounded character study (with depiction not necessarily equalling endorsement), or as lovable underdogs who make characters (or institutions) that are either morally...

Fresh off of directing the Bob Odenkirk action sequel Nobody 2 (which is now in theatres) for Universal, Timo Tjahjanto is gearing up to go into production on the Jason Statham action sequel The Beekeeper 2 for Miramax and Amazon MGM – and during an interview with Screen Rant, Tjahjanto revealed that he was drawn to the Beekeeper sequel because it gives him the chance to make his own version of the Marvel character The Punisher!

Directed by David Ayer from a screenplay written by Kurt Wimmer, The Beekeeper was a surprisingly good action flick that showed us what happens when one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as “Beekeepers.” As Deadline reminds us, it was about Adam Clay, a retired clandestine human intelligence operative who sets out for revenge after...

Jason Statham and Sylvester Stallone have been friends and collaborators for years, most famously working together on the "Expendables" movies, in which they play co-protagonists and leaders of the titular mercenary team. While Statham is a seasoned veteran of the action genre these days at 58 years old, he's still a full two decades younger than Stallone, and the pair have always had a sort of big-brother-little-brother dynamic when they share the screen.

Perhaps it's not surprising, then, that Statham came sort of close to stepping into one of Stallone's two most iconic roles. The British actor's 2013 action flick "Homefront" was written by Stallone and came out just a few years after the first "Expendables." The movie was at one point conceived to be a "Rambo" film, with Stallone once again playing the role of the grizzled military commando.

That film would have been a good deal different than the one we got,...

2024 brought on the release of The Beekeeper for Jason Statham, which is in line for a sequel with Timo Tjahjanto set to direct. Days after the film just got an exciting filming update, The Beekeeper has taken out a major competitor on streaming charts. Previously only streaming on Prime Video and Amazon MGM+, The Beekeeper recently hit HBO Max internationally, where it passed The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfareover the weekend. The 2024 WWII action thriller stars former Superman actor Henry Cavilland Reacher breakout Alan Ritchson.

The Beekeeper has found success by any metric by which it could possibly be measured. The film debuted with a strong 71% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes,...

After a string of action films since the 2008 blockbuster Taken, Oscar-nominated actor Liam Neeson took a comedic gamble with The Naked Gun, a legacy sequel to the iconic Naked Gun trilogy. The film has won praise from both critics and audiences, earning an impressive 87% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a solid 7/10 IMDb user rating.

With a reported budget of $42 million (via Variety), The Naked Gun has grossed nearly $73 million worldwide. So far, it has outperformed several 2025 releases, including M3GAN 2.0, Flight Risk, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Monkey. And now, it’s closing in on the global tally of a star-studded rom-com. Curious to know which one? Keep reading to find out.

Michael Bay has produced movies like Armageddon, Pearl Harbor, and The Island. However, the filmmaker may be best known for his work with the Transformers franchise, beginning with 2007’s Transformers, which he also directed.

Per FlixPatrol, two years after its release, the Bay-produced Transformers: Rise of the Beastsis finding new life on streaming. The movie, from director Steven Caple Jr. and writers Joby Harold, Darnell Metayer, Josh Peters, Erich Hoeber, and Jon Hoeber, is the No. 3 title on MGM+’s Top 10. It’s just behind The Institute and Jason Statham’s A Working Man to claim the third spot on the streamer. This isn't the first time Rise of the Beasts has experienced a surge in streaming, as in July, it was in the No. 8 spot on MGM+.

Released in 2023, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts earned an impressive $442 million at the worldwide box office against its budget of about $200 million.

Barbarian director Zach Cregger’s latest horror outing, Weapons, is maintaining an impressive streak at the global box office. With a worldwide haul of over $120 million, the film has already outperformed several notable 2025 releases, including Karate Kid: Legends, The Accountant 2, A Working Man, and The Monkey.

Within the horror genre, Weapons has edged past titles such as Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015), The Omen (2006), Saw V (2008), A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), and Haunted Mansion (2023) at the global box office. Beyond these, it has now surpassed multiple entries from the Final Destination franchise.

Jason Statham has always hated superheroes and superhero movies, but Nobody 2 director Timo Tjahjanto plans to change that. The director is attached to direct the sequel to Statham’s 2024 film, The Beekeeper, which earned $162 million at the box office (via Box Office Mojo), and according to ScreenRant, he wants to turn Statham into the Punisher.

During his talks, The Night Comes For Us director stated that he was always drawn to The Beekeeper movie because of the action scenes and Jason Statham’s character in it.

I’m definitely drawn to the Beekeeper series just because when I watched it, I always felt that, ‘Wow, this is essentially Statham playing one of my favorite characters in the Marvel universe, which is The Punisher.’

Although Statham will definitely not replace Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, Timo Tjahjanto will certainly take The Beekeeper 2 in that direction. The director’s plans...

Jason Statham’s next movie was recently delayed after previously being set for release in January, and while fans grapple with the news, one of Statham’s older films has finally returned to streaming to bridge the gap between releases. Statham stars alongside Tyrese Gibson (Fast X) and Ian McShane (John Wick: Chapter 4) in Death Race, the 2008 dystopian sci-fi thriller following an ex-con who is forced by a prison warden to compete in a brutal car race that sees the inmates kill each other. Death Race had previously been absent from streaming after its run of success on HBO Max earlier this year, but now the film has returned to streaming courtesy of Prime Video. Both the unrated version and the theatrical cuts of Death Race are now streaming on Prime Video.

Some films seem to be tailor-made for home video success, and the 2024 supernatural horror film Immaculate is one of them. That said, the movie should've done much better in theaters, especially since it was star Sydney Sweeney's immediate follow-up to her smash-hit romantic comedy Anyone But You. Sweeney put all her might behind promoting the film, as did distributor Neon. They memorably got a couple of real nuns to watch bits of the film, and captured their reactions on camera. Immaculate follows a young American nun who moves to an Italian convent and discovers all sorts of horrific secrets about it. As she digs further, she experiences something straight out of Rosemary's Baby, the classic horror film based on Ira Levin's novel. Immaculate is now available to watch on Prime Video, where it promptly found a spot on the global viewership charts.

According to FlixPatrol, Immaculate was the...

Brad Pitt has once again been enjoying some time in the spotlight thanks to the recent release of F1: The Movie, but before it officially leaves theaters, one of Pitt’s films that’s more than 10 years old has stumbled into a new streamer’s top 10. Pitt stars alongside Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), Michael Peña (End of Watch), and Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson) in Fury, the 2014 R-rated WWII film following a tank commander as he leads his crew across the front in Germany in 1945. Fury recently began streaming on Paramount+ globally, and it’s already infiltrated the top 10 in countries such as Canada. The film earned solid scores of 76% from critics and 84% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and it grossed $211 million at the box office against a $68 million budget.

Fury is, unfortunately, not streaming anywhere in the United States, but given the film’s international popularity, it likely won’t...

MGM+ subscribers cannot get enough of action icon Jason Statham. The actor's last two movies, both directed by Suicide Squad helmer David Ayer, remain extremely popular on the Amazon-owned streaming service.

The One is an underseen sci-fi action movie that featured a face-off between action movie stars Jet Li and Jason Statham. Jet Li established himself as one of the most impressive martial arts movie stars with his breakout role in Once Upon a Time in China. Following his success in China, Li's American movies helped make him an international star.

Meanwhile, Jason Statham made his debut in Guy Ritchie's Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, before becoming an action hero who continues to find success in movies like The Beekeeper and A Working Man. Both actors have solidified themselves as modern legends in the action genre while also sharing the screen several times.

The sequel to Jason Statham’s $162 million hit action movie gets an update from the director, and it’s exciting news.

One of worldwide cinema’s most bankable stars, Statham in 2025 has added another hit movie to his list of successes, as the gritty David Ayer-directed A Working Man grossed $100 million on a budget of $40 million.

Statham’s bruising thriller about a former commando seeking to rescue a friend’s kidnapped daughter has also been a hit on streaming. That’s no surprise, as Statham is just as popular on services like Netflix and Prime Video as he is in theaters around the globe.

2026 will see Statham back in theaters with Mutiny, an action thriller about a man wrongfully accused of murder, who goes looking for the real killer. Statham is also set to return in the sequel to his big 2024 hit, which has nabbed The Night Comes For Us...

There's great news for Jason Statham fans, as one of his recent hit action thriller movies gets an exciting sequel update. The Beekeeper 2 finally gets new plot details shared by its director.

Speaking with MovieWeb, The Beekeeper 2 director, Timo Tjahjanto, revealed that production is already underway and shared some information on what fans can expect from the sequel movie. "I was, literally two days ago, I was in London scouting for locations [for Beekeeper 2], and now I'm here in LA," he revealed, hinting at its plot by adding, "Beekeeper is obviously one of those movies where it sort of walked the fine line... something absurd about it in a great way, right?"

The mix of absurdity and action is what inspired Tjahjanto to work on the project. "Like, I think that's what I that's what I'm drawn to, because I love this absurdist world of Beekeeper and secret agents and all that stuff,...

A popular movie is going to remain popular regardless of where it's exhibited. Director David Ayer's The Beekeeper, in many ways his comeback film, proved to be a box office hit when it debuted theatrically in 2024. It was a fixture on the Prime Video charts for months in a row. And now, having debuted on HBO Max, the movie wasted no time in jumping straight to the top of the rankings. According to FlixPatrol, The Beekeeper was the fourth-most-watched movie on HBO Max worldwide on August 11. Meanwhile, a sequel with Jason Statham set to return is in the works.

On August 11, The Beekeeper took the number four spot on HBO Max's global viewership rankings, behind The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, and Final Destination Bloodlines. Directed by Guy Ritchie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare was a Prime Video favorite as well, before it debuted on HBO Max.

Brad Pitt is on top of the world right now thanks to his latest blockbuster, F1, dominating the box office. However, 12 years ago, he starred in another major box office hit that has also found success on global streaming charts. Pitt stars alongside Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who) in World War Z, the 2013 zombie horror film following a former Un employee (Pitt) who traverses the world in a race against time to stop a rapidly evolving zombie pandemic. World War Z is streaming on Paramount+ globally, where it’s still one of the most popular movies on the streamer in more than 10 countries. World War Z earned 67% scores from critics and 72% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and the film grossed a whopping $540 million at the box office, helping it turn a profit from a hefty $190 million budget.

World War Z is, unfortunately, not streaming anywhere in the United States at the time of writing.

You could argue it’s the best thing they’ve ever done together — and now, the rest of the country is catching on. Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham’s brooding revenge thriller Wrath of Man is seeing a major resurgence on Hulu, where the film has been riding high since it landed on the platform July 1. And while it was already a surprise theatrical hit during a shaky time for movies, its current streaming success may be even more impressive.

Originally released in 2021 — when theaters were just beginning to recover from pandemic shutdowns — Wrath of Mansaw Statham play a quietly terrifying cash truck driver on a vengeful rampage after his son is gunned down in a heist gone wrong. The premise is simple, but the execution is pure Ritchie: nonlinear timelines, explosive shootouts, and mounting dread all wrapped in sharp suits and colder stares.

With a modest $40 million budget,...

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...

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.

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.

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.
