The #1 Movie On Amazon Prime Video In 2024 Is Surprising
As we approach the end of 2024, it’s time to look back at the year-end lists. And according to official data from Amazon Prime Video, there is a clear winner when it comes to the most-watched movie on the service this year – and it may surprise you.
The title that takes the top spot is not some big-budget blockbuster or even an Amazon-produced original film, but rather Anne Hathaway’s The Idea of You. The romance drama, which was released directly onto the platform after premiering at South by Southwest a month and a half ago, has emerged victorious.
According to reports, Road House, the Amazon original starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Conor McGregor, may have had an impressive debut with 50 million viewers initially, but it seems that The Idea of You managed to garner more viewership over time. While opinions on movies are subjective, there is no denying that The Idea of You’s success raises questions about whether it should have been given a theatrical release.
This year has seen a trend in which romance dramas like Blake Lively’s It Ends with Us grossed hundreds of millions worldwide. It’s hard not to wonder if the star power of Hathaway and other actresses could have led to a more substantial box office take for The Idea of You had it been given the chance to reach a broader audience.
Regardless, it seems that audiences are connecting with this film on Amazon Prime Video, and fans can now watch it at home.
