Though Dave Bautista has finished his role as Drax in the Marvel movies, he’s still very busy with his career. While fans wonder if he’ll work with James Gunn again in the DC Universe, Bautista is focusing on action films, bringing his strength and charisma to every role. His latest movie, The Wrecking Crew, is now streaming on Prime Video. It’s a funny action comedy where he stars alongside Jason Momoa, another well-known actor from comic book films, and it premiered on January 28th to a lot of positive attention.
Currently, The Wrecking Crew is the most popular movie on Prime Video, according to data from FlixPatrol, which tracks streaming numbers. It’s significantly more popular than films like Ballerina and The Tank. Another Amazon original film featuring Dave Bautista, Trap House, is also performing well, ranking as the No. 5 movie and just ahead of A Working Man.
Why Dave Bautista’s Action Movies Are Big Hits on Prime
I have to say, I’m usually pretty skeptical of action movies that go straight to streaming. They’re often just okay, and rarely get much critical praise – just look at something like Trap House! But The Wrecking Crew really surprised me. It’s actually good, and critics seem to agree, giving it an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes as of today. It doesn’t exactly break new ground for the genre, but honestly, the connection between Dave Bautista and Jason Momoa is what makes the whole thing work. Their chemistry is fantastic and really lifts the movie above the usual streaming fare.
With well-known stars and positive early reviews, The Wrecking Crew is quickly becoming a hit on Prime Video. Subscribers are eager to see what everyone is talking about, and it’s expected to stay at the top of Prime’s charts for most of February. Even if the reviews hadn’t been so good, the film likely would have had a strong start, but it’s the positive reception that will keep viewers engaged. With few new action movies in theaters currently, The Wrecking Crew is proving to be a popular choice for action fans.
The popularity of The Wrecking Crew and Trap House probably boosted each other. With excitement building for The Wrecking Crew‘s release, many were also interested in Trap House due to its connection with Dave Bautista. The Wrecking Crew just launched on streaming, and it’s possible some viewers watched both movies in a row. Prime Video’s charts show that action films are popular with its audience, and a movie featuring a well-known and liked actor like Bautista is naturally appealing.
Dave Bautista is quickly becoming a major star for Prime Video. He’s already appeared in films like Trap House and The Wrecking Crew, and has several more projects with Amazon in the works, including a remake of Highlander and Road House 2. These films are likely to be popular on Prime Video and further build his impressive filmography. Bautista consistently proves his range by working with acclaimed directors like M. Night Shyamalan and Denis Villeneuve, while also delivering exciting action performances. Luckily for fans, there’s plenty more to come.
