Director Guy Ritchie is having a phenomenal September, and it looks like the positive momentum he has gained will continue into October. One of his biggest box-office misfires is heading to a free streaming platform, hoping to redeem itself like so many other movies directed by Ritchie have. Ritchie hasn't delivered a hit movie since 2021's Wrath of Man, starring Jason Statham. This hasn't, however, stopped him from entering a particularly prolific era. In addition to making new movies every year, he has also established himself as something of a television mogul with three hit shows on three different streamers. This month, he delivered the latest seasons of his Netflix series The Gentlemen and his Paramount+ hit MobLand. He's also working on the second season of Prime Video's Young Sherlock.
Both The Gentlemen and MobLand continue to chart on their respective platforms, while Ritchie's most recent theatrical release, In the Grey, remains the number-one title on Starz. Starring Eiza González, Henry Cavill, and Jake Gyllenhaal, In the Grey continued Ritchie's disappointing box-office streak, grossing around $28 million against a reported budget of $70 million. It received mixed reviews, but found massive success after hitting streaming. It was recently joined by The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the World War II spy thriller Ritchie directed in 2023. Also featuring Cavill and González, among others, the movie flopped at the box office, grossing around $30 million against a reported budget of $60 million. It recently found success on Netflix.
