Amazon Prime Video revealed plans to release a sequel to its biggest movie ever. Over the years, the Amazon-owned streaming service has had some big hits, including titles like The Idea of You, The Tomorrow War, and Camila Cabello's Cinderella, but there is one name that stands atop the list for the streamer. 

From a viewership perspective, Road House continues to be the biggest Amazon Prime Video original movie ever, even a year after its release.

The only thing that has come close to its lofty mark was Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Red One, which technically eclipsed Road House. However, that film was not exclusively released on the streaming platform, having played in theaters first (read more about Red One's rollercoaster 2024 release here).

Amazon Prime Video's Biggest Movies on the Way for 2025 & Beyond

As announced this week, Amazon Prime Video's remake of Road House, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, will get a sequel on the platform with a renowned action director. Titled Road House 2, the project marks the first follow-up to Prime Video's biggest streaming movie ever, which debuted to 50 million viewers in its first two weekends on the platform in March 2024.

The Road House sequel will be directed this time around by renowned action filmmaker Guy Ritchie. Bad Boys: Ride or Die scribe Will Beall will pen the script.
