It turns out that sometimes streaming services can offer a second chance to films that previously underperformed at the box office. Such was the case with a film starring Michael Keaton, which found new life through its streaming release.
According to Movieweb, released on October 18, Goodrich initially struggled to make an impact in theaters. However, it quickly gained positive reception from both critics and audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, where the Tomatometer sits at 81% . Despite Michael Keaton being a long-time fan favorite, the film's underwhelming box office performance came as a surprise. But as often happens, streaming provided the remedy, proving once again to be a lifeline for films that don't initially find success in theaters.
After underperforming at the box office, the film has now made a strong debut on Max, climbing to the top of the charts.
Directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, Goodrich follows Andy, an art dealer who unexpectedly becomes the primary caregiver for his twin children when his wife enters rehab. Struggling with his parenting skills, he turns to his daughter from a previous marriage, Grace (Mila Kunis), and together, they navigate the challenges of reconnecting with family.
