Amazon MGM’s live-action Masters of the Universe has become a sustained Prime Video hit despite underperforming in cinemas, illustrating how streaming can give costly films a second chance to reach audiences. Its performance may influence whether Amazon continues the He-Man franchise, although a sequel has not been confirmed.

The film, directed by Travis Knight and starring Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam and Jared Leto as Skeletor, reportedly spent 21 days in Prime Video’s top 10. It cost about $170 million and earned $113.8 million worldwide, while receiving a 67% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score and an 86% audience score; its post-credits scene teases She-Ra.
