Crowe has appeared in many exciting movies over the years, with successful releases not being new for the experienced actor. After all, Crowe has been a part of projects like Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, L.A. Confidential, Man of Steel, Les Misérables, and many other high-profile movies. Recently, Crowe joined a star-studded movie that touched on one of the most popular topics for adaptations, World War II, helping bring an underrated story to life. After a successful theatrical run, Crowe's new war movie has now become a global streaming sensation, showing the power of this intense World War II thriller.
According to FlixPatrol, Nuremberg is currently the 5th most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide. The World War II thriller leaves behind movies like Sydney Sweeney's R-rated psychological thriller The Housemaid, Gerard Butler's disaster movie Greenland 2: Migration, Jason Statham's revenge tale Shelter, and more on the streaming service's global charts. Only four movies rank above Nuremberg when looking at Prime Video's entire film library. Those include John Krasinski's Prime Video original movie Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War, the star-studded magic adventure Now You See Me: Now You Don't, the romance Your Fault: London, and Hugh Jackman's The Sheep Detectives.
Nuremberg's global streaming success comes from the war movie trending in 14 countries on Prime Video. Out of those, the thriller goes as high as the top spot in nine countries, which include Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and more. The United States is not one of the countries on that list, and for a simple reason. Nationwide, Nuremberg is streaming on Netflix, not Prime Video. That said, Crowe's war movie is also not among Netflix's most-watched movies in the United States. That chart features films like John Cena's Little Brother, Voicemails for Isabelle, Minions: The Rise of Gru, GOAT, and more.
Nuremberg's streaming success on Prime Video comes after the World War II movie had a solid box office run. Based on the film's reported budget of around $7 million to $10 million, it had to finish its box office run in the $20 million to $25 million range at most to break even. Given how Nuremberg went on to gross $70.5 million worldwide when all was said and done, Crowe's latest thriller was a bona fide box office hit. Helping boost its performance was Nuremberg's exceptionally positive response from audiences, with a near-perfect 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Between its attempts to humanize the perpetrators of the Nazis, the film inadvertently seems to throw them a bone they don't deserve.
Nuremberg, as its title suggests, focuses on the Nuremberg trials, as Rami Malek's Douglas Kelley, a psychiatrist for the U.S. Army, monitors multiple high-profile Nazi officers before and during the global event. Crowe gives life to Hermann Göring, one of the most powerful members of the Nazi Party, who develops a complicated connection with Kelley. The psychological thriller questions the root of evil as Göring tries to manipulate the investigator along the way. As such, Crowe's performance is fundamental to Nuremberg, which also features names like Leo Woodall, Michael Shannon, Richard E. Grant, and more.
