Jason Statham’s $48 Million Spy Caper Becomes a Streaming Hit One Day After Debut

Jason Statham’s new movie is finally set to exit theaters soon after grossing only $300,000 at the box office this weekend, but another of his more recent flicks has become a streaming hit. Statham stars alongside Hugh Grant and Aubrey Plaza in Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre, the spy thriller following an elite espionage agent (Statham) who recruits a movie star to help him stop the sale of a dangerous weapon. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre hit Peacock on April 28, and less than one day later, it landed in the streamer’s top 10, sitting at #6 at the time of writing. In addition to Statham, Grant, and Plaza, Operation Fortune also stars Cary Elwes and Josh Hartnett, and it earned scores of 51% from critics and 82% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. It also grossed $48 million at the global box office.
