‘Mercy’ rebounds on streaming
Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt’s sci‑fi action Mercy underperformed at the box office but became a streaming hit on Prime Video in March 2026, finding a much larger audience after its theatrical flop (movieweb.com).
FlixPatrol’s March 23, 2026 chart shows Mercy reached the No. 1 movie spot on Amazon Prime in the United States and sat at No. 3 on the platform’s overall top‑10 that day. (flixpatrol.com) Box Office Mojo lists Mercy’s final theatrical take as $24,390,303 domestic and $54,598,356 worldwide against a reported $60 million production budget. (boxofficemojo.com) The release cadence was unusually fast: a U.S. theatrical opening on January 23, 2026, a digital PVOD rollout reported on February 17, and a Prime Video arrival on March 22, 2026. (screenrant.com) Critic and audience metrics diverged sharply—Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer registers low critic scores while the Rotten Tomatoes PopcornMeter/audience rating sits around the low‑80s, a gap that Forbes flagged as one of the largest critic‑audience splits of 2026. (rottentomatoes.com) Amazon MGM Studios is listed as the film’s U.S. distributor, and Amazon’s Prime page shows Mercy available to stream on Prime Video following the PVOD window. (boxofficemojo.com) Multiple outlets reporting streaming analytics say Mercy’s Prime Video surge isn’t just U.S.‑bound—platform charts indicated the title climbing Prime’s worldwide movie rankings and overtaking recent releases like Agent Zeta in global play.
