Jason Statham’s New Action Movie Is Officially His Second Box Office Bomb of 2026
Jason Statham’s action film *Mutiny* opened to a modest $7.5 million in the US, becoming his second weak theatrical performer of 2026 after *Shelter*. Its box-office result was affected by an apparent full-film upload to Prime Video shortly before release, which enabled piracy, although the article notes that Statham films can still earn money through digital and streaming sales.
Producer Basil Iwanyk has argued that domestic cinema takings alone do not reflect the profitability of films led by Statham or Gerard Butler, because they often perform strongly on premium video-on-demand and streaming platforms. *Shelter* earned under $13 million domestically after a $5.5 million opening, while Butler’s *Greenland 2: Migration* made $17 million; both reportedly found greater success at home.
