Introduction to Recent Movie Releases
The movie industry has seen some surprising successes lately. One such success is the reserved action sequel, Ice Road: Vengeance, starring Liam Neeson. Despite being one of Neeson’s worst-reviewed movies, it managed to top the domestic rankings on Netflix after its release.
Success of Ice Road: Vengeance
The film’s success was short-lived, however, as it was eventually knocked off the top spot by 28 Years Later, a continuation of the cult-loving zombie franchise created by Danny Boyle and Alex Garland. 28 Years Later had a decent run in cinemas, grossing $150 million at the global box office against a reported budget of $60 million.
The Future of the 28 Years Later Franchise
A second part, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, is set to be released in January, directed by Nia Dacosta. The third film, written by Garland and to be directed by Boyle, has not yet been officially greenlit. The studio’s decision to move forward with the franchise will depend on the financial success of the upcoming films.
Liam Neeson’s Recent Films
Liam Neeson has had a mixed year, with The Bare Weapon being his biggest cash hit since 2018’s The Commuter, grossing over $100 million worldwide. On the other hand, Ice Road: Vengeance received bad reviews but still managed to be a streaming hit.
Streaming Rankings
The streaming dominance of Ice Road: Vengeance eventually came to an end, thanks to the release of 28 Years Later. The new film jumped to the top of the domestic rankings on Netflix, knocking Ice Road: Vengeance and other films like KPOP – Demon Hunter and The Wrong Paris down the charts.
Movie Details
Ice Road: Vengeance is currently available to stream on Netflix in Germany. The film is directed and written by Jonathan Hensleigh and has a runtime of 113 minutes. The cast includes Fan Bingbing and Grace O’Sullivan.
