Russell Crowe has a quiet streaming hit on his hands. The Get Out, his 2026 crime drama, is currently number nine on the Paramount+ top ten in the United States, according to Collider, which described it as one of the ten most-watched films on the service.
What The Get Out is about
The film is directed by Derrick Borte, whose earlier work includes The Joneses. It is adapted from Strip, a 2010 novel by Thomas Perry. Crowe plays Manco, a nightclub owner who gets caught up in a criminal underworld.
The supporting cast includes Luke Evans, Teresa Palmer, Daniel Zovatto and Aaron Paul. Palmer is an Australian actress, which gives the film a local connection for readers here.
We have followed the film’s run on the chart before. See our earlier posts on how The Get Out climbed the Paramount+ chart again and how Crowe had two films on streaming charts at once.
What else is on the Paramount+ chart
Collider says the list is an unusual mix. The top two places belong to a pair of connected action titles, One Mile: Chapter One and One Mile: Chapter Two. Further down, the Eddie Murphy comedy Norbit is described as the most surprising entry. Luc Besson’s Dracula, the buddy-cop favourite Rush Hour, the 1996 disaster film Twister and the comedy We’re the Millers also made the top ten.
That puts a recent crime drama alongside older catalogue titles. Ninth place is not a headline-grabbing spot, but it keeps the film in front of subscribers at a time when few of the others on the chart are new.
Highlander is next
Collider notes that Crowe is due back on the big screen in the remake of the 1986 fantasy Highlander, which starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. John Wick director Chad Stahelski is behind the new version, and Crowe plays Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez.
The announced cast is large. It includes Henry Cavill, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou and Marisa Abela.
The weight-loss rumour
Photos of a dramatic physical change in Crowe circulated recently, and some reports suggested he had slimmed down or got into peak shape for Highlander. Collider says that was not the case. Crowe used social media to say he had already finished filming Highlander before the photos were taken. The report links the change instead to his following project, The Last Druid, a historical action drama directed by William Eubank.
This detail comes from Collider’s account of Crowe’s own comments. We have not seen the original post.
What happens next
No release dates for Highlander or The Last Druid appear in the source we read, so we are not guessing. Whether The Get Out moves up or drops off the Paramount+ chart will show in the coming days. For more, see everything we publish on Russell Crowe and our Movies section.
