Rami Malek’s $60 Million Spy-Thriller Flop Is Officially a Streaming Hit on Prime Video
Rami Malek’s ‘The Amateur’ is a hit on Prime Video more than a year after the $60 million spy thriller struggled at the box office.
Rami Malek's $60 million spy thriller, officially classified as a success on Prime Video, has revealed that winning an Oscar doesn't guarantee a bankable actor status. Despite the $900 million-plus blockbuster success of Bohemian Rhapsody, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor, Malek's subsequent movie career has been somewhat inconsistent.
He played a James Bond villain in No Time to Die, appeared as a nuclear physicist in Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer, and was part of the 1930s murder mystery Amsterdam, which earned $30 million worldwide. His most recent film, Nuremberg, starred alongside Russell Crowe and dealt with World War II, but despite respectable performance figures, it did not translate into a mainstream blockbuster hit.
