Priyanka Chopra's biggest Hollywood film Heads of State beaten by a movie with 0% Rotten Tomatoes score
While War of the Worlds has been panned by critics, the film has surprisingly overtaken Priyanka Chopra Jonas' latest film Heads of State and become the top-performing film on Prime Video on August 4.
The website FlixPatrol recently released the list of the top 10 most-streamed movies on the streaming giant, and War of the Worlds topped the list, with Heads of State securing the second position. Hindi film Housefull 5 stood 6th on the list, while The Accountant 2, Flight Risk, and A Working Man stood in 3rd, 4th, and 5th positions, respectively. Dhanush's Kuberaa landed at the 10th position.
Priyanka stars in Heads of State along with Idris Elba and John Cena. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the film has 71% of 103 critics' reviews as positive. The film's IMDb rating stands at 6.4 out of 10. Heads of State is Priyanka's biggest Hollywood project so far. She had earlier starred in the Russo Brothers' Citadel, but the web show was widely panned by critics. She has also appeared in Hollywood projects like Love Again, The Matrix Resurrections, We Can Be Heroes, and Isn't It Romantic, but none of them gave her as much screen time as she had in Heads of State. Priyanka began her Hollywood career by playing the lead in the TV show Quantico in 2015.
Coming to War of the Worlds, the film is adapted from the 1898 novel by HG Wells. The film stars Ice Cube in the lead role of Will Radford, a government analyst whose life takes a turn after aliens invade Earth. The film also stars Eva Longoria, Clark Gregg, Andrea Savage, Henry Hunter Hall, Iman Benson, Devon Bostick, and Michael O'Neill in key roles. It was released on Prime Video on July 30.
