Apple TV+ has debuted two new movies recently from Guy Ritchie and Sydney Sweeney, and now the projects are engaged in a battle at the top of streaming charts. Hailing from Guy Ritchie is Fountain of Youth, the Indiana Jones-esque adventure thriller starring John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, which currently sits in the second spot on Apple TV+ streaming charts. It’s following behind Echo Valley, the latest project from star Sydney Sweeney that also features Julianne Moore, that’s occupying the top spot on the streamer’s charts. Neither film has been particularly well-liked by critics or audiences — Fountain of Youth earned scores of 36% from critics and 39% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and Echo Valley has come to rest at ratings of 51% from critics and 50% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes.
Guy Ritchie has been extremely busy this year between the release of Fountain of Youth and also directing episodes of MobLand. The crime thriller series stars Tom Hardy and Pierce Brosnan, and it was recently renewed for Season 2. Ritchie’s most recent film before Fountain of Youth came last year on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the WWII action thriller starring Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson. The film is currently only streaming on Starz, but it has found several runs of profound streaming success just in the last few weeks. Michael Pearce stepped behind the camera to direct Echo Valley with a script from Brad Ingelsby. Pearce made his directorial debut in 2017 on Beast (Jessie Buckley), and he followed that up four years later with his work on Encounter, the R-rated sci-fi thriller starring Riz Ahmed.
