Johnny and Angelina's Old Movie Makes a Comeback on Streaming

A movie that many have forgotten is now making waves again. The Tourist, a 2010 crime thriller starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, is gaining popularity on streaming platforms. It's been 16 years since its release, and now it's topping charts in several countries.

Plot and Background

The film follows a man who goes to Venice after a breakup and meets a mysterious woman. It's a remake of a 2005 French movie. Despite mixed reviews, it was a hit at the box office, earning $278 million worldwide.

Critical Reception

Critics weren't kind, giving it a 21% score on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences seemed to enjoy it more with a 42% score.

Streaming Success

The Tourist is now a streaming sensation, especially on HBO Max in regions like Mexico, Chile, and Venezuela. It's not available on HBO Max in the U.S., but people can rent or buy it on other platforms. The movie's success is even more impressive considering its $100 million budget.

Cast and Feud

Back when it was released, Johnny Depp was riding high from Alice in Wonderland, and Angelina Jolie was between Salt and Kung Fu Panda 2. The movie also sparked a funny feud between Depp and comedian Ricky Gervais. Gervais mocked the film at the Golden Globes, and Depp later confronted him on his TV show.

Conclusion

The Tourist might not have been a critical darling, but it's clear that people are still interested in it. Maybe it's the chemistry between Depp and Jolie, or maybe it's just a good thriller. Either way, it's proof that good movies can find their audience, even years later.
