Guillermo del Toro's 2013 sci-fi blockbuster Pacific Rim has re-entered the streaming charts 13 years after its cinema release, landing at number 10 on Vudu's Top 10 Movies chart in the United States. The film, which pits giant human-piloted mecha robots against alien Kaiju monsters emerging from the Pacific Ocean, stars Idris Elba, Charlie Hunnam, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day and Ron Perlman, and its return to popularity suggests it has found a new generation of viewers.

Pacific Rim grossed more than $411 million worldwide at the box office and went on to spawn a wider franchise, including sequel Pacific Rim: Uprising, animated series Pacific Rim: The Black, and an as-yet-untitled prequel in development. Its current chart placing sits just below Project Hail Mary, reflecting what the article describes as a strong year for science fiction more broadly in 2026.
