House of the Dragon suffered a crushing defeat against The Rings of Power, but Game of Thrones’ sibling has avenged it in epic fashion by dethroning the Amazon top 10 king!

Brothers, which stars Peter Dinklage and Josh Brolin as twins on the hunt for a big score, has knocked The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power out of the top spot on Amazon Prime Video.

The season 2 finale of The Lord of the Rigns: The Rings of Power aired early this month, and ever since it’s hung around the top 10 most-watched shows and movies available on Amazon Prime Video, often claiming the number one spot. Today that changes. Brothers, a new movies starring Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage as twin brothers (and criminals) who going on a cross-country roadtrip in pursuit of a big score, has dethroned it.

Brothers is a goofy action-comedy kind of movie, with some sentimental family drama thrown in there for good measure. By and large, folks seem not to like it; the movie has a 37% rotten rating from critics and a 41% rotten rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s got big names in it — in addition Dinklage and Brolin, the movie also stars Glenn Close, Marisa Tomei and Brendan Fraser — but that’s not enough to overcome a formulaic script.

Still, there’s something kind of funny about a movie that stars maybe the biggest breakout actor from Game of Thrones — Peter Dinklage — knocking The Rings of Power, a show clearly inspired by the success of Game of Thrones, out of the top spot. But with Brothers getting middling reviews, it may drop a few places yet, and my bet is that The Rings of Power will hang around the top 10 a while longer.

Despite The Rings of Power’s continued success, we still haven’t heard anything about Amazon renewing its Lord of the Rings prequel series for a third season, although both cast and crew sound optimistic. The longer Amazon waits to renew, the longer the wait for a third season will be, and the greater the chances are that people will lose interest, so hopefully we hear good news in the near future.
