Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista have come together to headline Prime Video’s new movie The Wrecking Crew, and it’s become an instant worldwide phenomenon. The two stars have carved out careers in Hollywood over the years thanks to how well they fit in the world of fist fights, shootouts, and really anything that gets audiences’ adrenaline pumping.
They’ve both done superhero movies, while Bautista has fought James Bond and Momoa has squared off with Dominic Toretto. Now, they’re united as the leads of The Wrecking Crew, where they play estranged half-brothers who investigate the death of their father. Amazon MGM put the film directly on Prime Video on January 28, and it immediately found incredible success.
The Wrecking Crew Is Trending Worldwide
After only one day of being on streaming, The Wrecking Crew has proven to be a much-anticipated title for Prime Video subscribers. The film instantly debuted on the top 10 charts upon its release. And now just one day later, The Wrecking Crew is the #1 movie trending worldwide on the subscription service.
According to FlixPatrol, Momoa and Bautista’s R-rated action-comedy is the top film in the United States, UK, Spain, France, Italy, and more countries. That’s given it the #1 position worldwide for all movies streaming on Prime Video. It’s ahead of fellow top 10 movies trending in Ballerina, The Tank, Shadow Force, Trap House, A Working Man, Splitsville, It Ends with Us, Black Site, and Our Fault.
In the United States specifically, The Wrecking Crew ranks as the #2 title across the entire streamer, falling only behind Fallout season 2’s penultimate episode. Should more people check out the movie, it very well could top Prime Video’s overall US chart in the coming days.
