Jason Statham’s upcoming film Mutiny is set to hit theaters on August 21st, but for at least an hour today it was available to stream in full on the US version of Amazon Prime Video. My colleague Dominic Preston was able to verify that all 1 hour and 35 minutes of the movie was available to watch on Amazon’s streaming platform, though it now shows as “unavailable.” The Mutiny website and marketing materials state that it’ll only be available in theaters when it’s officially released in two days.
There’s nothing to suggest that this was released on Prime Video intentionally, or that it’s intended to be some marketing stunt — neither the Punch Palace Productions and MadRiver Pictures production studios, nor US distributor Lionsgate, are owned by Amazon. We have reached out to Amazon for comment.
It’s unclear when Mutiny was added to Prime Video US. The Prime Video listing is fully populated with the cast list, video thumbnail, and a blurb that reads: “After his billionaire industrialist boss is murdered in front of him, Cole Reed is set up to take the fall for the crime — leaving him on the run as he works to uncover a conspiracy.”
Update, August 19th: The film is no longer available to stream.
