Having witnessed the streaming success of two movies this year — Shelter and Mutiny — Jason Statham has scored a hat-trick. Shelter and Mutiny both underperformed in theaters before redeeming themselves on streaming. Released in January, Shelter grossed around $13 million domestically, while Mutiny, which was released in August, grossed approximately $16 million in its domestic box-office run. Both films cost around $50 million to produce and received mixed reviews. According to FlixPatrol, Shelter is currently among the most-watched titles on the domestic Starz chart, while Mutiny is reigning over the Prime Video rankings. Now, a third film in which Statham played the titular character is spiking on Hulu.
The movie in question was released in theaters in 2019, the first spin-off of a legendary action franchise. It was born out of controversy, which caused a rupture that the franchise hasn't quite recovered from. Produced on a reported budget of $200 million and directed by David Leitch, the film grossed $760 million at the worldwide box office. It remains the top-grossing movie of Statham's career as a leading man, outpacing The Meg and its sequel, Meg 2: The Trench. Statham has, however, appeared in the far more successful franchise entries The Fate of the Furious and Furious 7.
