2025 has been a pretty solid year so far for movies, and while there are a handful already generating Oscar buzz, some unfortunately came and went without much conversation at all. In fact, October was one of the weakest months, with movies like “The Smashing Machine,” “Tron: Ares,” and “Regretting You” failing to generate healthy box office revenue. That even includes the chillingly fun “Black Phone 2.”
But movies that tend to flop in theaters usually find some success on streaming, and that’s the case with another October release, “After the Hunt.” Directed by Luca Guadagnino (“Challengers”) and starring Julia Roberts in the lead role, this psychological thriller seemed primed to be another hit for the director. Unfortunately, the movie grossed only around $9.3 million worldwide, and just over a month after its theatrical release it landed on Prime Video U.S.
