Alan Ritchson's new Prime Video movie Playdate might not have gone down as well as his first three seasons of hit action show Reacher, but the comedy has still managed to draw in viewers over on the streamer.

After hitting Prime Video on November 5, Playdate has become the most popular movie on the streamer worldwide, taking the number one spot, according to FlixPatrol (H/T ComicBook). Romantic drama Our Fault sits in second place, followed by The Rock's 2024 Christmas action flick Red One.

Playdate's streaming success arrives despite the film debuting to rather negative reviews and a measly 17% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Frank Scheck from The Hollywood Reporter called the Playdate "a compendium of clichés," and Decider's John Serba said, "The movie's primary tone is obnoxious." Ouch. However, fans seem to like the film a little more, as Playdate holds a far better audience score of 59%.
