It is true that the pace of premieres of Prime Video films is much smaller than that of Netflix, which also helps their releases have more time to shine. In fact, surely on the platform they expected ‘G20’ to be razing, but the truth is that the new world number 1 film of the platform is science fiction and is titled ‘Ash’.
Presented in the last edition of the SXSW, ‘Ash’ came to premiere in theaters of the United States, where he suffered a tremendous failure, since he barely managed to raise 1 million dollars before disappearing from the rooms.

On Thursday, April 24, it was when Prime Video premiered ‘Ash’ internationally, taking little to succeed on the platform. From Flixpatrol it is clarified that it has been the world number 1 film in the Amazon service for several days, having also reached the highest in 19 countries. Of course, Spain is not one of them, because in our country it has been eclipsed by the streaming arrival of ‘thieves game: panther’.
