John Cena’s newest movie, “Action Comedy,” also known as “Head of State,” has become a huge global success on Prime Video. According to an exclusive report from Deadline, over 75 million households worldwide have watched the film since its release on July 2nd.
With such a large viewership, “The Chief of Nation” is set to become the fourth most-watched Amazon MGM Studios movie on streaming platforms. The film stars Idris Elba and Priyanka Chopra Jonas alongside Cena, topping the Nielsen film charts in its first week by streaming more than a billion minutes. It maintained the number one spot on Prime Video for four straight weeks.
The plot centers around the British Prime Minister and the US President, who must team up to thwart a global conspiracy. Cena not only stars in the movie but also serves as an executive producer. Its success places it just behind other major Amazon hits such as those featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
This blockbuster success is especially notable as Cena is approaching the end of his legendary WWE career. At SummerSlam’s second night, he fought in the main event but lost to Cody Rhodes in a brutal street fight for the undisputed WWE Championship. Cena now has only nine days left in his official retirement tour, which is expected to conclude with a final match in December.
Fan Take: This news is huge for WWE fans because it shows John Cena successfully transitioning from wrestling to Hollywood while still making waves in the ring. His dual success could inspire future wrestlers to follow a similar path, blending entertainment with sports wrestling to elevate the entire industry.
