One of the biggest sci-fi films of recent years went completely under at the box office. Its success on Amazon Prime, on the other hand, has continued unabated for three weeks
When anew Matrix filmwas released in cinemas in December 2021 – 18 years after the finale of the original trilogy – there was great excitement as to what directorLana Wachowskihad come up with for the sequel. In the end, however, hardly anyone wanted to see the reunion of Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the cinema.
Matrix Resurrections, the fourth installment in the popular sci-fi series, turned out to be one of thebiggest flops of its cinema year With a budget of 190 million US dollars, the film only grossed 150 million US dollars – a box office failure in every respect. On Amazon Prime, the story looks different

Don’t expect a classic sequel, but a movie that completely takes apart the Matrix mythos and reassembles it into something new. Although Matrix Resurrections even recreates individual scenes from the original in detail, from a certain point onwards the film fearlessly forges its own path
Matrix Resurrections on Amazon Prime: How does the sci-fi series with Keanu Reeves continue?
If Matrix Resurrections had been a success at the box office, we would probably be talking very differently about the future of the series. As it stands, however, things are not looking good for Matrix 5. Warner Bros. has not announced any plans for another sequel for the time being. In itself, however, the brand is too popular and valuable for it to fall asleep completely. Perhaps we can expect a reboot next
