Glen Powell Pushes Running Man to #8 on Prime Video
Glen Powell's running man is back in the conversation six months after its November 2025 theatrical release. Earlier this week, Edgar Wright's 133-minute sci-fi action film sat at No. 8 on Prime Video's Top 10 Movies in the United States and reached No. 1 on Paramount+.
Powell and Wright
Powell plays Ben Richards, the man selected to enter a deadly reality TV show and survive 30 days without getting killed by the network's hunters for a chance to win $1 billion. That setup gave the film a built-in hook in theaters, and it is now doing the same work on streaming, where the title has found a second life after a box office run that landed at $69 million worldwide.
The film's streaming lift also arrives against a reported $110 million budget, a gap that kept the theatrical run from breaking even. That is the part of the story studios watch closely: a movie can miss in cinemas and still draw repeat interest once it reaches subscription platforms, especially when the title already carries a known name and a recognizable lead like Powell.
Rotten Tomatoes Scores
The film's reception split the difference between critics and viewers, landing at 61% with critics and 77% with audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. ScreenRant said the movie loses its "dystopian edge" as it tries to make the story more entertaining, while CBR said Powell deserves his "Hollywood Star" status. Collider's Aidan Kelley went further and gave the film an 8/10.
Those numbers help explain why the title keeps surfacing on platform charts even after a theatrical result below budget. The movie may not have turned into a box office winner, but the current streaming placement shows that viewers still have room for a high-profile genre title once it is easy to access.
Prime Video Top 10
At No. 8 on Prime Video in the United States, sitting between Balls Up and Battleship, the film is performing like a catalog title with current pull rather than a one-week curiosity. For a studio, that means the audience for Powell, Wright, and Stephen King's story has not disappeared; it has simply moved to a different window.
