Denzel Washington’s next movie begins streaming on Apple TV+ soon, but ahead of its debut, one of his older films has become a streaming success ahead of its 10th anniversary. Washington stars alongsideChris Pratt(Guardians of the Galaxy),Ethan Hawke(Training Day),Vincent D’Onofrio(Daredevil: Born Again), andLee Byung-hun(Squid Game) inThe Magnificent Seven, the 2016 Western following seven lone gunmen who are brought together to protect a town from the army of a private industrialist.The Magnificent Sevenis currently streaming on Prime Video and MGM+ in America, but globally, it’s returned to VOD charts in several countries, such as Brazil and others.
The Magnificent Sevenwas moderately well-liked by critics and audiences upon release. The film sits at scores of 64% from critics and 71% from audiences in Rotten Tomatoes, which may not be anything to write home about, but they’re not poor enough to call the film a disaster. Unfortunately, it failed to find the box office success needed to warrant a hefty $90 million budget. It grossed only $160 million, and it needed closer to $200 million to be considered a profit for United Artists.Leading stars Denzel Washington and Chris Prattwere the first two cast inThe Magnificent Seven.
