Big Trouble in Little China Climbs Into Prime Video Top 10

Big Trouble in Little China has reappeared on Prime Video and slipped into the platform's U.S. Top 10 at #10 starting February 17, 2026, FlixPatrol shows. Prime Video appears to have added the film recently, and that early algorithmic push is increasing its visibility.

Directed by John Carpenter in 1986, the action-fantasy stars Kurt Russell as Jack Burton, a loud, overconfident bystander who keeps stumbling into legend-level stakes. A routine favor spirals into a Chinatown underworld clash involving kidnapped targets, ancient magic and the immortal sorcerer Lo Pan (James Hong).

When it opened in the summer of 1986 the film underperformed, debuting to about $2.7 million on its opening weekend and finishing with roughly $11.1 million in North America against an estimated $19–$25 million budget, which led to it being labeled a box-office bomb and pushed it out of the cultural conversation.
