Pierce Brosnan's Box Office Bomb Crime Thriller Finally Becomes a Hit on New Streamer

Michael Fassbender’s latest spy thriller didn’t exactly set the box office alight, but streaming has once again come to the rescue. Black Bag, directed by Steven Soderbergh, quietly arrived in theaters earlier this year only to fizzle out commercially. Now, thanks to its debut on Prime Video, the film is experiencing a dramatic turnaround. Released on the platform September 5, Black Bag has already surged to No. 2 on the Prime Video U.S. Top 10 rankings, putting Fassbender back in front of global audiences and proving yet again that a project’s second life often begins online.
