Prime Video's leaky ship released Jason Statham's boat thriller, Mutiny, two days early
Amazon's Prime Video joins Netflix and X as the latest tech company to botch a major studio release with self-inflicted leaks.
Prime Video inadvertently released the upcoming Jason Statham film, Mutiny, two days before its official theatrical debut. The leak occurred on Prime Video's streaming platform, making all 1 hour and 35 minutes of the movie available for viewing. This incident comes after Netflix faced a similar issue with the unauthorized release of a Nicolas Cage movie, Fortitude, following a server breach.
Both incidents highlight the challenges major studios face in combating piracy from tech giants. As of now, no comments have been made by Amazon, the producers, or the distributors of Mutiny regarding the leak. Despite the crowded field, this incident is another instance that raises questions about the tolerance and effectiveness of these tech companies in protecting Hollywood's intellectual property.
