Quick summary
- The Legend of Tarzan, starring Margot Robbie, was number two on HBO Max’s global movie chart on 10 November 2026, according to FlixPatrol data cited by Comic Book Resources.
- It sits above The Hunger Games (number four), Catching Fire (number seven) and Mockingjay, Part 1 (number ten).
- The film was released in 2016 and has a 35% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes.
- Robbie is now filming an untitled Ocean’s Eleven prequel, due in cinemas on 25 June 2027.
A film that critics largely dismissed a decade ago is having a second life. Margot Robbie‘s 2016 adventure The Legend of Tarzan ranked second on HBO Max’s global movie chart as of 10 November 2026, Comic Book Resources reported, citing FlixPatrol’s figures.
How Tarzan beat The Hunger Games
According to the report, three films from The Hunger Games series are also on the chart, but all sit lower. The original film is at number four, Catching Fire at number seven and Mockingjay, Part 1 at number ten. The final instalment in the series is not charting at all.
The timing adds a twist. A new film in that franchise, Sunrise on the Reaping, is due in cinemas later this month, which would normally lift interest in the older titles. Even so, Robbie’s film is ahead of all of them.
Why the chart is not a US story
Australian readers should note that the ranking reflects international viewing. Comic Book Resources says the film’s strength comes from overseas, where it holds the top spot in Mexico and is second in a number of other countries. In the United States it is not on a major subscription service and can only be rented or bought digitally.
That means the number-two placement is a global measure and says little about American streaming habits. The report does not say how many viewers are behind the ranking, and FlixPatrol’s chart tracks position rather than audience size.
A divisive film, revisited
In the film, Robbie plays Jane opposite Alexander Skarsgård as John Clayton, also known as Tarzan. The story picks up almost a decade after he left Africa for Victorian England. The villainous Leon Rom, played by Christoph Waltz, tries to draw the couple back to the Congo, and Jane becomes a pawn in his scheme.
Reviews at release were mixed to negative. Rotten Tomatoes lists a 35% approval rating from more than 260 reviews. Its consensus says the film has more on its mind than many earlier Tarzan movies, but not enough to make up for a generic plot and a sluggish pace. Audiences were kinder, with a 58% Popcornmeter score from more than 50,000 ratings, which still falls short of a “fresh” mark.
Comic Book Resources notes that opinion appears to be softening. It points to a July 2026 review calling the film “by far the best Tarzan movie” and another five-star review from the same month questioning why so many low ratings exist.
What Robbie is working on now
Robbie is currently filming an untitled prequel to Ocean’s Eleven, the report says. Bradley Cooper stars and directs, and Robbie is also a producer. Plot details are under wraps, though the film is expected to follow a heist in Monte Carlo in 1962, decades before the 2001 story. The confirmed cast includes Wagner Moura, Josh Gad and Monica Barbaro.

What happens next
The next signal will be whether the film holds its chart position once Sunrise on the Reaping opens later this month. The Ocean’s Eleven prequel is scheduled for cinemas on 25 June 2027.
