The remake of the '80s film 'Road House,' starring Jake Gyllenhaal, has become Amazon Prime Video's most-watched movie debut with 50 million viewers.
Director Doug Liman boycotted the film's premiere due to Amazon's decision for a streaming-only release, criticizing Amazon for not supporting cinemas.
The film has received mixed reviews from fans and critics, despite its record-breaking viewership on Prime Video.
Conor McGregor, co-star in the film, highlighted the viewership as equivalent to $750 million at the box office over two weekends.
The remake is praised for its entertainment value and the performances of its cast, including Gyllenhaal, McGregor, Daniela Melchior, and others.
