Liam Neeson's sci-fi thriller "Cold Storage" has become an unexpected streaming success on MGM+, despite a disappointing theatrical run earlier in 2026. The film, based on David Koepp's 2019 novel, underperformed at the box office but has since found a much wider audience through streaming, highlighting how theatrical earnings increasingly fail to reflect a film's overall popularity or eventual reach.

Directed by Jonny Campbell, "Cold Storage" stars Neeson alongside Joe Keery, Georgina Campbell, Vanessa Redgrave and Lesley Manville. It earned just $3.2 million at the box office against a reported $10 million budget, owing to a limited nationwide release, but has since climbed into the ten most-streamed titles on MGM+ in the US. The success follows a strong year for Neeson, who also starred in the well-reviewed "Naked Gun" reboot alongside Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser.
