Robert Eggers’ “Brutally Violent” Viking Action Masterpiece Lands New Streaming Home

The movie The Northman features Alexander Skarsgård as Amleth, a Viking prince determined to avenge his father’s murder by his uncle. Released in theaters on April 22, 2022, the film didn’t perform well at the box office, earning only $69 million despite a $70 million budget. Unfortunately, this was common during the COVID-19 pandemic, when audiences were hesitant to risk money on films outside of major franchises like the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Fortunately, The Northman found success through video on demand and physical copies, reaching the #1 spot on iTunes and Blu-ray during its release weeks.
