Adam Driver's '65' is Roaring on Hulu Despite a Terrible 36% on Rotten Tomatoes

You just never know what movie that bombed in theaters will become a streaming hit. The latest example is 65, the much-maligned dinosaur sci-fi thriller with Adam Driver. It opened to a measly $12.3 million on its way to $60.7 million worldwide on a reported $45 million budget (not including marketing costs). Considering studios and theaters split the box office almost evenly, it was nearly a total disaster.
And yet, it recently roared to number two on Hulu's Top 10 streaming list, making it a streaming hit for another otherwise dismal film. It currently sits at a terrible 36% by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, yet audiences love it more, giving it a surprisingly high 64%. Just months after its terrible March 2023 theatrical debut, 65 was number one on Netflix. Audiences still love dinosaur movies.
Driver stars as Mills, an astronaut who leaves Earth along with his wife and sick daughter to explore the galaxy on a multi-year mission.
