Angel Has Fallen becomes a hit on a free streaming service. The third Has Fallen movie, following Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and London Has Fallen (2016), the 2019 action thriller once again follows Gerard Butler’s Secret Service agent Mike Banning, who must race against time to prove his innocence after being framed for a drone strike targeting the President of the United States.
In addition to Gerard Butler in the lead role, the cast also includes Morgan Freeman as President Allan Trumbull, Jada Pinkett Smith, the late Lance Reddick, Tim Blake Nelson, Piper Perabo, three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte, Danny Huston, Frederick Schmidt, Michael Landes, Joseph Millson, Ori Pfeffer, Mark Arnold, Chris Browning, Jessica Cobley, Rocci Williams, and Antonio Bustorff.
Now, six years after its release, Angel Has Fallen ranks 10th on Tubi’s Top 10 movies in the United States for today, September 24, where it has been for the past five days. It ranks below Spiral: From the Book of Saw, Scary Movie 4, The Waterboy, Notorious, Edward Scissorhands, Scarface, Fright Night, Life, and Meet Joe Black.
Angel Has Fallen is also streaming for free on Plex, Pluto TV, and The Roku Channel.
What Angel Has Fallen’s Streaming Success Means For The Movie
The Has Fallen films have never been beloved by critics, with the first two holding 50% and 28% scores on Rotten Tomatoes, respectively. The third film is no different, with a 38% Rotten Tomatoes score and Angel Has Fallen reviews criticizing it for following in the footsteps of its predecessors and concluding the action trilogy with a suitably lackluster finale.
However, the Has Fallen films have been successful at the box office, with each installment grossing over $145 million against their $40–70 million budgets. Angel Has Fallen was especially beloved by audiences, boasting a stellar 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, though it grossed a series-low $146 million after the first two movies’ $170 and $205 million hauls.
Our Take On Angel Has Fallen’s Streaming Success
Though Angel Has Fallen follows in the footsteps of the first two films and concludes the trilogy in forgettable fashion, it still delivers what audiences expect from a Gerard Butler action movie – gruff everyman heroics, relentless shootouts, and explosive set pieces. That formula is exactly what makes Angel Has Fallen a rewatchable, if predictable, hit on streaming.
