Daniel Craig’s Last James Bond Movie Takes Prime Video By Storm

No Time to Die High on Streaming Charts: A Closer Look at the James Bond Resurgence
Streaming Success: No Time to Die Rises on Prime Video
No Time to Die, the final chapter in the iconic James Bond series starring Daniel Craig, is experiencing a remarkable resurgence on streaming platforms. Released back in 2021, this film has climbed to the fourth position on Prime Video’s daily Top 10 movies chart in the United States. Despite being released in October 2021, No Time to Die has quickly emerged as a favorite among audiences, following its recent introduction to the platform on October 1.
Competing with 2025 Hits: Prime Video Chart Dynamics
The films outpacing No Time to Die on Prime Video’s chart include some notable 2025 releases. These are the action-packed Diablo featuring Scott Adkins at No. 3, A Working Man starring Jason Statham at No. 2, and Shane Black’s eagerly anticipated Play Dirty taking the top spot. This competition from contemporary releases highlights No Time to Die’s impressive staying power and appeal.
Why No Time to Die Stands Out Among James Bond Films
A significant factor in the renewed interest in No Time to Die could be linked to the recent Prime Video debut of all 25 James Bond films. This collection includes classics like Sean Connery’s Dr. No, Timothy Dalton’s Licence to Kill, Pierce Brosnan’s GoldenEye, and other signature entries. Interestingly, despite the complete collection’s availability, No Time to Die uniquely leads among them on the U.S. streaming charts.
- Sean Connery: Dr. No, From Russia with Love
- George Lazenby: On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
- Roger Moore: A View to a Kill, For Your Eyes Only
- Timothy Dalton: Licence to Kill, The Living Daylights
- Pierce Brosnan: Die Another Day, GoldenEye
- Daniel Craig: Casino Royale, Skyfall
Despite earning a respectable 83% Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and an Oscar win, No Time to Die is outperformed by six other Bond films on Rotten Tomatoes. Yet its fresh presence on streaming and status as the most recent installment appear to fuel its popularity.
Anticipation Builds for Future James Bond Installments
The film’s current success might be driven by speculation and buzz surrounding the upcoming James Bond 26, which still lacks a title and lead actor, five years after its predecessor’s release. Memories of Daniel Craig’s unprecedented portrayal, especially as the first James Bond character to die on screen, contribute to the intrigue about who will step into this legendary role next.
