Amazon leaks Jason Statham film Mutiny ahead of theatrical release

Amazon accidentally leaked the full version of Jason Statham’s new action thriller, Mutiny, on Prime Video several days before its scheduled theatrical release. The error occurred when the film was mistakenly posted to a product detail page intended for trailers, allowing subscribers to stream the entire 95-minute movie for free for several hours.

The blunder has caused significant friction within the film industry. Lionsgate, which is distributing the film in U.S. theaters, and various international buyers have expressed outrage over the potential financial impact. With a production budget exceeding $50 million and Lionsgate reportedly paying an eight-figure sum for rights, distributors are concerned about the widespread piracy that followed the leak.

International buyers have described the incident as a ‘multimillion-dollar problem for Amazon,’ with some expecting the streaming giant to provide financial compensation to mitigate the damage. While the film has seen strong early performance in markets like France and the Middle East, the availability of high-quality pirated copies is expected to threaten its global box office and theatrical momentum.
