Overview

• The film arrived on Netflix without fanfare and immediately topped Tuesday’s U.S. Top 10 Movies list, leapfrogging recent releases.
• It is also performing strongly on Amazon Prime, where it ranks No. 2 on the service’s movie chart, according to Hello!.
• The sequel relocates Mike McCann’s story to Nepal and Mount Everest with a mercenary bus hijacking premise, featuring Fan Bingbing among the supporting cast.
• Critical reception remains poor, with reporting citing a Rotten Tomatoes score near 17 percent, while viewer responses are notably polarized.
• Following a limited June theatrical run and staggered streaming rollout, the film’s strong metrics have prompted discussion of a third entry as a possibility contingent on continued performance.
