Jason Statham’s 47% Rotten Tomatoes Sci-Fi Thriller Becomes a Streaming Hit After Grossing $529 Million

A Jason Statham movie that grossed over $500 million at the global box office has become a streaming hit seven years later. Statham stars alongside Rainn Wilson (The Office) and Cliff Curtis (Avatar: The Way of Water) in The Meg, the 2018 sci-fi thriller following a rescue mission that’s terrorized by a gargantuan prehistoric shark. The Meg is streaming exclusively on Prime Video, and it has been one of the top movies on the platform for 28 days, sitting at #7 at the time of writing. The Meg was panned by both critics and audiences upon its release, earning a 47% score from critics and a 44% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but that hasn’t stopped it from racking up views on Prime Video.
