2026's Masters of the Universe has enjoyed an impressive turnaround in its fortunes. When it hit cinemas in the early part of the summer movie season, it unfortunately bombed at the box office, earning just $114 million worldwide. On streaming, however, it has been a different story. Whether because of its family-friendly appeal, or because its campy, self-aware tone struck a chord with social media users, the MOTU movie has been a massive hit for Amazon Prime, opening at number one on Nielsen's streaming charts and earning over 1 billion minutes viewed.
