Priyanka Chopra’s fierce transformation into the pirate legend Bloody Mary has captivated millions worldwide, with The Bluff rising to the very top of global OTT streaming charts. The Prime Video film recorded 300.3 million minutes of viewership during the week of February 27 to March 5. The staggering numbers confirm that audiences worldwide were eager to see Chopra in her most action-packed role to date.
The Bluff is set in the Cayman Islands and tells the story of Ercell Borden, a woman who once terrorized the seas as the infamous Bloody Mary. Years after abandoning that life, she is pulled back into danger when her husband is taken hostage by a ruthless pirate named Connor, played by Karl Urban. Director Frank E. Flowers crafts a relentless adventure filled with tension, action, and emotional stakes.
Looking at the global streaming leaderboard, The Bluff sits comfortably at the top with 300.3 million minutes. Netflix’s Accused starring Konkona Sen Sharma and Pratibha Ranta follows with 213.1 million minutes. Firebreak on Netflix, Paul McCartney: Man on the Run, and The Wrecking Crew, both on Prime Video, fill out the remaining top five spots.
The film’s chart-topping performance is especially noteworthy given the lukewarm reception from critics. Reviewers were split on the film’s merits, but paying audiences showed up in massive numbers regardless. This pattern reflects the growing influence of star-driven marketing and audience enthusiasm over traditional critical gatekeeping.
The online response from fans has been overwhelmingly positive, with many describing the film as a great and even surprisingly good watch. Supporters have praised Chopra for her dedication to the physically intense role and her ability to command the screen throughout. The Bluff’s success marks yet another milestone in one of the most dynamic careers in global entertainment.
