A critically panned epic fantasy movie that was also a box office bomb is the number one movie on Netflix today. It’s interesting how some films sink without a trace in theaters and then find new life on streaming. And though it’s taken four years, infamous flop King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is now getting that treatment. According to the latest stats from Flix Patrol, the Charlie Hunnam vehicle is the most-watched title on Netflix in the US today, up two places since its last position in the rankings.
In between his cult-favorite spy flick The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and mega-hit Disney remake Aladdin, director Guy Ritchie attempted to reimagine the legend of King Arthur and Camelot for a new generation. Unfortunately, whether due to overfamiliarity with the character, Ritchie’s specific take or another reason, Legend of the Sword failed to make an impact with audiences. But at least they’re now checking it out in their droves on streaming.
