## Summary

Apple TV has a new number-one film, with an action comedy starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh overtaking Brad Pitt's F1 at the top of the streamer's global viewership chart. The film, described as a Cold War-set "Rush Hour in Russia", has received strong reviews and looks set to dominate Apple TV's rankings for several weeks, continuing the platform's recent shift away from costly, director-led prestige projects towards more populist, broadly appealing entertainment.

The film pairs Reynolds as a downed American pilot with Branagh as an obsessive ex-KGB officer, and is directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, the duo behind Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, who are currently developing a new Star Trek film. It knocks F1 off the top spot after that Brad Pitt-led racing drama, which had a full theatrical release before streaming on Apple TV, grossed roughly $630 million worldwide.
