A new series based on a classic IP can often give a further boost of popularity to any pre-existing media set in the same universe, which is certainly the case on Amazon Prime right now. Buoyed by all the chatter around The Rings of Power series, the Top 10 on Amazon’s streaming service is currently being utterly dominated by the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series. The series, which grossed $6 billion dollars at cinemas around the world, are once again entertaining loyal fans.
All six movies in the incredibly successful adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien’s books are filling out the top of the charts, leaving very little room for anyone else. While none of them have managed to steal the number one spot from Sylvester Stallone’s The Samaritan, The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers are sitting in second and third place. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is at number four, while the final Lord of the Rings movie, The Return of the King, is at number five.
