Film Buyers Fuming Over "Mutiny" Leak
The accidental Prime Video release triggered piracy in several territories and left international buyers facing a multimillion-dollar problem, one buyer said.
- Earlier this week, Amazon accidentally released the full Jason Statham-led action feature Mutiny on Prime Video days before its exclusive theatrical debut, posting the movie on a product detail page reserved for trailers.
- Director Richet's $40 million action film was intended for exclusive theatrical release, with Lionsgate distributing in the U.S. while Amazon holds rights in other markets, creating competing commercial interests.
- The leak triggered piracy across multiple territories, including regions where Mutiny had not yet premiered, while the film had already opened in France and the Middle East to strong numbers before the unauthorized release.
- International buyers and Lionsgate are "understood to be very unimpressed," with one buyer calling it an "unprecedented situation" and "major f-up," dubbing it a "multimillion-dollar problem for Amazon" with "serious repercussions for distributors."
- Lionsgate's anti-piracy team is working to mitigate damage while international buyers coordinate a formal message to Amazon about the breach's impact on their theatrical strategies and revenue projections.
