Bruce Willis Movie Tops Paramount+ Despite 3.9 IMDb Rating
Bruce Willis’s latest film, “Gasoline Alley,” may not have made a big impact when it first hit theaters in 2022, but it seems to be finding new life on Paramount+. Despite its initial lackluster performance and a low 3.9 IMDb rating, the film has managed to climb to the top of the streaming charts on August 4th, becoming the most-watched film on the platform according to Flixpatrol.
It’s not uncommon for movies that didn’t do well in theaters to gain popularity on streaming platforms, and “Gasoline Alley” is no exception. Even though it contains big names like Bruce Willis and had a theatrical release, it failed to attract a large audience initially. Critics and viewers didn’t seem to favor the film, so it’s quite surprising to see it suddenly soar in popularity on Paramount+.
In “Gasoline Alley,” Bruce Willis plays a detective, reminiscent of his iconic role in “Die Hard.” For fans of Willis, this film may hold a special significance as one of his last before his retirement. Despite its potential as a thrilling detective story, negative reviews dampened its reception upon release.
While the sudden resurgence of interest in “Gasoline Alley” remains a mystery, the unpredictable nature of streaming platforms can sometimes turn overlooked films into unexpected hits. If you missed out on the movie the first time around, now might be the perfect opportunity to give it a second chance on Paramount+.
