Despite receiving negative reviews and a limited theatrical release, the action comedy Old Guy, directed by Simon West, is finding success on Paramount+. The film, which follows an aging hitman tasked with mentoring a young apprentice, began streaming on February 1st and quickly climbed into the platform’s Top 10 in the U.S. It reached number 4 on February 2nd, then number 3 the following day, and is currently holding steady at number 6. This puts it ahead of popular titles like Jack Reacher, Sleeping Dogs, and Top Gun: Maverick, though it’s still behind the top-ranked films The Running Man and Roofman on Paramount+.
