Echo Valley Slips from the Top Spot
Fountain of Youth streaming knocked Ridley Scott’s Echo Valley from the top of Apple TV+ charts, ending its brief reign. But now, it has officially lost its #1 crown.
According to Flix Patrol, the film has been bumped to second place by Guy Ritchie’s action-adventure Fountain of Youth, which scored 909 points, narrowly beating Echo Valley’s 905 points.
Despite Echo Valley topping the charts immediately after streaming began, its momentum slowed after two weeks, likely due to lukewarm reviews and the arrival of new competition.
Fountain of Youth Brings Heist Energy to Apple TV+
Billed as an Indiana Jones-style global adventure, Fountain of Youth features John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as estranged siblings chasing the mythical source of immortality. The film blends ancient history, high-stakes heists, and sibling rivalry in a fast-paced adventure.
Despite its 35% Rotten Tomatoes critic rating, the film has proved popular among streamers. It has steadily climbed the charts since its May debut and now claims the #1 global movie spot on Apple TV+.
Critical Reaction versus Successful Streaming
- Critics gave Echo Valley a 50% rating.
- Fountain of Youth had a 39% viewer rating and a 35% critic grade.
Despite receiving conflicting reviews, both movies are quite popular. While Fountain of Youth relied on the adventure genre’s worldwide appeal—a concept that is still effective despite negative reviews—Echo Valley used its star power and emotional depth.
Guy Ritchie’s Streaming Momentum
Ritchie is on a winning streak in the streaming world:
- The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare hit Starz’s Top 5
- MobLand starring Tom Hardy reached Paramount+’s Top 5
His ability to blend action with humor and ensemble casts is proving successful with digital audiences.
Where to Watch
Both Fountain of Youth and Echo Valley are streaming now on Apple TV+.
