New John Wick Spinoff Dominates the Streaming Charts
Ballerina is on a tear: the John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas has surged on Prime Video worldwide, turning its theatrical buzz into sustained streaming heat.
Ana de Armas just found the audience that skipped theaters. Lionsgate's John Wick offshoot 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina' landed on Prime Video and immediately started climbing the charts. Turns out this thing plays a lot better on the couch.
Streaming surge after a quiet theatrical run
Since hitting Prime Video, 'Ballerina' has cracked the platform's global Top 10. Per Flix Patrol, it was sitting at No. 2 on Amazon Prime's worldwide Top Movies list on January 26, 2026. Same day, it hit No. 1 in several countries, including Sweden, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Brazil.
That's a solid rebound for a movie that underwhelmed in theaters. Critics liked it, audiences mostly liked it, but the opening came in below what the John Wick sequels had led people to expect. On streaming, though, it clearly found more oxygen.
Where it fits in the Wick timeline
The story runs parallel to 'John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum.' We follow Eve Macarro, orphaned as a kid after seeing her father killed. She ends up under the wing of the Ruska Roma, a secretive assassin outfit that teaches ballet, combat, and the less polite arts. Despite the warnings around her, Eve eventually breaks out on a solo mission to track down the people behind her father's murder. Straightforward motive, very messy execution.

Reception by the numbers
