With more and more people turning to streaming services for their entertainment needs, films that may not have performed well at the box office are finding new life and new audiences on platforms like Prime Video.
Jason Statham's film Mutiny is also heading to digital platforms, after grossing only $30 million at the box office against a $40 million budget.
