Gareth Edwards' The Creator is trending on Prime Video's US chart

Movieweb reports (published 3 hours ago) that Gareth Edwards' 2023 sci‑fi film The Creator is trending on Prime Video, currently the eighth most popular movie on the streamer's US weekly chart.

Directed by Edwards (Rogue One, Godzilla) and nominated for Best Visual Effects at the 2024 Oscars, the film stars John David Washington as Joshua, a mercenary hired to hunt down the Creator — the architect of advanced AI — and features Gemma Chan, Ken Watanabe, Allison Janney, Ralph Ineson, Benedict Wong, Amar Chadha‑Patel and newcomer Madeleine Yuna Voyles as the AI child at the story's center.

Despite strong visuals and a 67% critic rating (75% audience) on Rotten Tomatoes, The Creator underperformed theatrically, grossing $104 million against an estimated $80 million budget, with Regency Enterprises and Entertainment One likely writing it off as a financial failure; its current streaming popularity contrasts with that box‑office result.
