Henry Cavill and Alan Ritchson’s WWII Thriller Storms to #1 on Prime Video
Alan Ritchson has continued his run of streaming success in 2026, with the 2024 WWII action thriller The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which he starred in alongside Henry Cavill, climbing to the top of Prime Video's VOD chart. Directed and written by Guy Ritchie, the film underperformed at the box office on release but has since found a large audience through streaming, adding to a string of hits for Ritchson this year and further raising his profile ahead of several major upcoming projects.
The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare grossed just $29 million against a $60 million budget when it was released in 2024, but it has proved far more popular on streaming, first performing well on Starz before moving to Peacock and now reaching the VOD top 10 on Prime Video. This success comes during a particularly strong year for Ritchson, who also starred in Netflix's War Machine, one of the platform's biggest films ever, and is due to return as Jack Reacher in Reacher Season 4 and its spin-off Neagley later in 2026, alongside a new film with Owen Wilson, Runner, opening in cinemas in September.
