Henry Cavill is currently doing something unexpected on Paramount+. Night Hunter, a thriller he led years ago, is pulling in more views than Top Gun: Maverick, the Tom Cruise blockbuster that once dominated cinemas worldwide. Both actors shared the screen in Mission: Impossible—Fallout, but their films are now competing in a very different arena: streaming.
Night Hunter Becomes One Of The Most-Watched Titles On Paramount+
According to FlixPatrol, Night Hunter was the third most-watched title on the platform on August 5, 2025. It even outranked Top Gun: Maverick, which dropped into fourth. Novocaine, another action flick, and I’m Still Here, a Brazilian Oscar-winner, were sitting above both titles.

Top Gun: Maverick’s Box Office Success Didn’t Guarantee Streaming Dominance
Top Gun: Maverick, directed by Joseph Kosinski, had its moment as it made nearly $1.5 billion globally (per Box Office Mojo) after its 2022 release and was praised by critics, scoring 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score that is even higher and landing a Best Picture nomination.
