Prime Video’s streaming darling Crime 101 has officially lost its top spot to Mark Wahlberg’s raunchy new comedy. Read on for more.
After roughly two weeks at the top of Prime Video's global viewership charts, the sleek neo-noir film Crime 101 has been replaced as the streamer's most-watched movie.Chris Hemsworth led a stacked cast including Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, and Barry Keoghan. But despite the star power, Crime 101 was unable to recoup its reported $90 million production budget. However, its theatrical run provided much-needed publicity for its eventual release on Prime Video; it's being marketed as a streaming original in several countries.
If the goal was to gain traction before dropping on streaming, then Crime 101 is a grand success. The movie's excellent 88% Rotten Tomatoes score certainly helped. But the streamer's latest champion didn't get a theatrical release and hasn't been reviewed well at all.
