Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal’s Action Movie Sequel Is a Worldwide Streaming Hit

by

Following its successful run at the box office, it seems that The Accountant 2 has become a significant success on streaming platforms. According to FlixPatrol’s statistics (which tracks the popularity of titles on streaming services), the action sequel currently tops Prime Video by a substantial lead. As per FlixPatrol’s data, it outperforms other films available on Prime, including the original Accountant, which ranks third at this time. The entire Top 10 list suggests that people are utilizing their Prime subscriptions to watch some of the notable releases from 2025.

Among the current top picks on Prime, I find myself captivated by Alex Garland’s drama, “Warfare,” which trails only slightly behind the number one spot. The action-comedy “Deep Cover” also intrigues me, placing fourth on the list. Completing the top five is “A Working Man,” starring Jason Statham, a film that graced the big screen in March.

The sequel to “The Accountant” debuted in cinemas towards the end of April, offering a nationwide release. Critics found it superior to its initial installment, with particular acclaim for the on-screen dynamics between leads Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal as an unusual brother duo. Favorable reviews propelled the movie forward, ultimately earning $102.1 million globally against a production cost of $80 million.

Following the release of “The Accountant 2” in cinemas, Amazon confirmed its availability for streaming on their platform starting from early June. The movie made its debut on the service on Thursday, 5th June, and since then, it’s been steadily climbing the rankings.

It’s no wonder that The Accountant 2 has found a substantial viewership on streaming platforms. The initial film, released in 2016, was a moderate hit, grossing $155.2 million globally, and cultivating a dedicated fan base eager for a sequel. Viewers appreciated Ben Affleck’s portrayal of the autistic character Christian Wolff, finding him intriguing due to his ability to balance number-crunching with skull-crushing. While the sequel may have underperformed at the box office, Amazon likely saw it as a potential streaming sensation; their release strategy for The Accountant 2 mirrors that used for Affleck’s sports drama Air.

Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor have shown interest in creating a third film, known as “The Accountant 3”. It would be intriguing to find out if this opportunity arises for them. The movie’s success both in cinemas and on streaming platforms hints at a potential market for another sequel. However, currently, there has been no advancement regarding the third installment. Amazon may have held off deciding on the future of the franchise until they saw how “The Accountant 2” performed on streaming. With the knowledge that it’s now a home success, they might initiate preparations for another film in the series.
