Underwater Returns to Streaming Spotlight Six Years After Release
William Eubank's 2020 sci-fi thriller Underwater is drawing renewed streaming attention on Prime Video, years after a $40 million worldwide run.
Underwater, the 2020 sci-fi thriller directed by William Eubank, is seeing renewed success on streaming, according to Collider. The film, which arrived in theaters in January 2020, is drawing fresh attention on Prime Video six years after its release.
Underwater grossed around $40 million worldwide against a reported budget of $65 million, with $17 million of that total coming from North America. The film has built a solid cult following at home in the years since.
Collider places Underwater in the long line of movies inspired by Alien, Ridley Scott's 1979 sci-fi horror film. Other titles in that lineage include The Cloverfield Paradox, Life and Annihilation.
The renewed interest arrives as the Alien franchise itself has returned to view: Alien: Romulus, directed by Fede Álvarez, revived the series in theaters, while Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth brought it to television. Scott directed the original Alien and two subsequent prequels.
