In a groundbreaking triumph for Amazon Prime Video, the highly anticipated remake of "Road House" featuring UFC superstar Conor McGregor has achieved the biggest streaming debut in the platform's history. Since its release, the film has garnered an astounding 50 million worldwide viewers in just two weeks, solidly establishing it as the largest audience for an Amazon MGM Studios release to date.

Based on the cult classic from 1989, the new "Road House" follows the journey of Jake Gyllenhaal's character, an ex-UFC fighter turned bouncer at a rowdy bar in the Florida Keys. McGregor joins the cast as Knox, a paid mercenary, engaging in intense battle scenes alongside Gyllenhaal.

Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon MGM Studios, expressed her delight in a press release, crediting the film's success to the hard work and dedication of the entire filmmaking team and its exceptional cast, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor, and several other talented performers. The film has resonated with both fans of the original and amassed a significant new audience, providing thrilling entertainment and a memorable action-packed experience.

The impressive numbers achieved by "Road House" are sure to embolden director Doug Liman, who had initially expressed disappointment over the film being a streaming-only release, rather than hitting the big screen. While it remains uncertain if a sequel is imminent due to the massive debut, the possibility appears open-ended and exciting.

Despite the film's mixed reviews, with a 59 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, audience scores declined slightly to 54 percent. McGregor, despite his limited experience as an actor, notably received positive feedback for his performance, with one reviewer highlighting his captivating Irish accent, brash physicality, and intense on-screen presence as the standout elements of the movie.

Ultimately, the tremendous success of the "Road House" remake on Amazon Prime Video demonstrates the platform's ability to deliver highly anticipated and widely viewed content. As the film continues to captivate audiences worldwide, it establishes a new benchmark for streaming platforms and highlights the immense appeal of both McGregor and the iconic "Road House" franchise.
