Released in 2013, Forty-Seven Ronin tells the story of a group of samurai who avenge their dead masters, the sequel takes place more than 300 years after the first episode, and is described as a "genre hybrid, including martial arts, action, horror and cyberpunk films", produced by Universal Pictures' Home Entertainment Division, which will be directly streamed (previously Netflix).
Released in 2013, "Forty-Seven Ronin" was not a success in word-of-mouth and box office, with $175 million invested in the global box office of $151 million, including publicity and other costs, it is estimated that it will bring nearly $200 million to the world. Rotten Tomatoes has a 16% freshness rating, with an IMDb score of 6.3 and a Time.com score of 6.4.
This movie also allowed Keanu Reeves to enter the trough of his career, after the release of the film, hollywood six basically no longer look for him as a male number one, until the "Fast And Furious" series made him popular again, and there was a follow-up to the movie "The Matrix 4" and so on. Considering the difference between the operating logic of streaming media and the traditional cinema distribution, perhaps such a mixed fantasy genre between the East and the West can become popular in streaming media.
