The #1 Movie On Amazon Prime Video In 2024 Is Surprising
As we wrap up the year 2024 and start to look back at the most popular content on various platforms, one piece of information has caught our attention. According to official data from Amazon Prime Video, The Idea of You, a romance drama starring Anne Hathaway, has taken the top spot as the #1 movie on the platform for the entire year.
This unexpected result may raise some eyebrows, especially given the massive success of Road House, another Amazon original, which reportedly drew in 50 million viewers. While it’s true that The Idea of You didn’t initially surpass this number, it appears to have gained momentum over time and eventually surpassed its competition.
It is difficult to ignore the star power of both Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal in their respective films. However, it seems that The Idea of You has resonated with viewers on a deeper level, resulting in its unexpected #1 ranking.
One question that arises from this news is whether or not The Idea of You should have been given a theatrical release. Given the success of romantic dramas like Blake Lively’s It Ends with Us, which grossed $350 million worldwide, it seems likely that The Idea of You could have performed similarly well at the box office. Instead, it premiered at South by Southwest and was made available on Amazon Prime just over a month later.
In any case, it is clear that viewers have responded enthusiastically to this film, and we encourage anyone interested in romance dramas to give it a watch.
