Ben Affleck's 2023 sci-fi thriller "Hypnotic" is currently the number-one film on Hulu, marking an unexpected resurgence for a movie that significantly underperformed at the box office. Directed by Robert Rodriguez, the mind-bending crime thriller stars Affleck as a homicide detective investigating a case connected to his missing daughter. The film's revival on streaming demonstrates the platform's role in giving commercially unsuccessful theatrical releases a second life, particularly as Affleck's profile rises with upcoming Netflix project "Animals".

Hypnotic was distributed domestically by Ketchup Entertainment and Relativity Media, earning approximately $16 million against a reported budget of $65 million. The film holds a 32% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics noting it contained "glimmers of inspiration" despite being "often clunky". Rodriguez also served as cinematographer and editor on the project, with several of his children contributing to behind-the-scenes work. The film now ranks above The Devil Wears Prada 2, Coraline, and The Accountant 2 on the streaming platform.
