But the general reaction to the recent comedy <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/movie\/good-fortune-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Good Fortune<\/a> wasn&#8217;t strong enough to warrant a longer run in theaters. Less than a month after its theatrical debut, the film is already available to watch at home, where it&#8217;s doing rather well. Good Fortune marks <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/aziz-ansari\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Aziz Ansari<\/a>&#8216;s feature directorial debut, a few years after he cut his teeth directing episodes of the acclaimed Netflix series <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/master-of-none\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Master of None<\/a>. Ansari was initially supposed to make a movie with <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/bill-murray\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Bill Murray<\/a>, but the project was shelved mid-production after the actor was accused of inappropriate behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Ansari pivoted to Good Fortune, which also features <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/seth-rogen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Seth Rogen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/keanu-reeves\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keanu Reeves<\/a>. According to FlixPatrol, it was the number one movie on the domestic iTunes charts on November 8, pushing the recent horror offering <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/movie\/black-phone-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Black Phone 2<\/a> down the list. Good Fortune also did better than the far more expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/mission-impossible-8\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Mission: Impossible &#8211; The Final Reckoning<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/movie\/f1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">F1<\/a>, and the recent flop <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/the-smashing-machine-review-dwayne-johnson-emily-blunt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Smashing Machine<\/a>. Produced on a reported budget of $30 million, which makes it more expensive than the number one movie on HBO Max, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/materialists-review-pedro-pascal-dakota-johnson-chris-evans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Materialists<\/a>, Good Fortune concluded its theatrical run with a little more than $20 million in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>                        &#8216;Good Fortune&#8217; Opened to Positive Reviews<\/p>\n<p>Reeves would earn about as much as a salary in his heyday. He plays a guardian angel tasked with teaching a struggling man the meaning of life, and the pointlessness of materialism. Incidentally, the movie also features <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/keke-palmer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keke Palmer<\/a>, whose own comedy vehicle, <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/movie\/one-of-them-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">One of them Days<\/a>, quietly grossed $50 million domestically earlier this year. Good Fortune opened to mostly <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/good-fortune-review-keanu-reeves-seth-rogen-aziz-ansari\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">positive reviews<\/a>, and is now sitting at a 77% score on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The website&#8217;s consensus reads, &#8220;A promising directorial feature debut by Aziz Ansari, Good Fortune&#8217;s socially minded humor is given wings by Keanu Reeves&#8217; heavenly comedic timing.&#8221; You can watch Good Fortune at home, and stay tuned to Collider for more updates.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"480\" height=\"640\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"9hdvsfqur8fkc4aovbrxpgaulzg.jpg\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763250368_337_9hdvsfqur8fkc4aovbrxpgaulzg.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1763250368_337_9hdvsfqur8fkc4aovbrxpgaulzg.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                                            Release Date<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOctober 17, 2025<\/p>\n<p>                                            Runtime<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t98 Minutes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Credit:\u00a0PA Images\/INSTARimages Movies these days aren&#8217;t given much of a chance to bounce back with positive word-of-mouth if&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":135499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[146,85,46,397],"class_list":["post-135498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-movies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/135499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
