Napoleon Conquers Streaming Charts

Ridley Scott's historical epic Napoleon has pulled off a massive, unexpected comeback on global streaming charts despite its rocky theatrical run. On July 3, 2026, the divisive film quietly climbed to number 10 on the Apple TV worldwide charts, more than 2 years after its original release.

The film has conquered international audiences, securing the number 1 spot in Laos and the number 2 spot in countries like Argentina, Armenia, and Chile, It is a game-changing second life for a film that grossed just $222.4 million against an estimated budget of up to $200 million. The 157-minute theatrical release left critics and audiences deeply split, with both groups giving it a mediocre 58% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Apple TV even offers a massive 205-minute director's cut, but both versions are still widely considered some of Scott's more lackluster work. Yet this sudden surge keeps the director's name in the spotlight as a defining moment before his upcoming film, The Dogstars, hits screens.
