Henry Cavill's 'Night Hunter' — $1M box office flop now No. 5 globally on Paramount+

Henry Cavill’s action thriller Night Hunter, which only grossed $1 million at the box office, is currently streaming on Paramount+ and was the fifth most popular movie globally on the platform at the time of writing. Cavill, best known for The Witcher, Mission: Impossible and Man of Steel and attached to projects like an upcoming Highlander reboot and a Warhammer 40,000 series, headlined the film but his name didn’t translate to box office success.

Night Hunter was the feature debut of director David Raymond and features an ensemble cast including Ben Kingsley, Alexandra Daddario, Stanley Tucci, Minka Kelly and Nathan Fillion. The film’s listed release date is August 29, 2019, with a 95-minute runtime; its budget has not been disclosed.

The film was widely panned by critics — it holds a 14% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes and a split 51% user score — and remains underseen compared with Cavill’s other action titles, with roughly 250 user reviews on the platform. Cavill plays Detective Walter Marshall, who investigates the mysterious death of a young woman and crosses paths with a vigilante.
