The Gorge, Apple TV+‘s underrated sci-fi romance movie with Sigourney Weaver, is surging on the streaming charts. The film has been performing well since its release earlier this year.
FlixPatrol reports The Gorge is #3 on Apple’s Top 10 Movies in the United States for July 13, 2025. The movie is performing equally well around the world, where it is charting in over fifty countries and taking the top spot in five. The Gorge was released on Apple’s streaming platform on Feb. 14, with Weaver starring as Bartholomew, a mysterious woman who recruits two snipers to guard a secret gorge and the secret that lies within it.

The Gorge Director Reveals Which Video Games Inspired The Anya Taylor-Joy Movie
Scott Derrickson shares which popular horror video games inspired his upcoming genre-bending movie, The Gorge.
Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller star as the two snipers, Drasa and Levi respectively. Throughout the film, the two are positioned at opposite ends of the top-secret gorge without any contact with the outside world. As they hold their positions, The Gorge explores Drasa and Levi’s budding romance, with the mysterious evil lurking within the gorge keeping tensions high.
Critical reception for The Gorge was mixed upon its release, and the film has a 62% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film’s ability to mix multiple genres together either resonated well with viewers or fell flat, with the film walking a tightrope of finding the perfect mix of romance and action/thriller. Audiences enjoyed The Gorge even more than critics, though, with a 75% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Gorge’s continued streaming success shows the film has staying power even months after its debut. Shortly after its premiere in February, Apple revealed that the movie set a new debut performance record — beating out the Brad Pitt and George Clooney movie Wolfs, which previously was Apple’s top performer.

The Gorge’s Filmmakers Land Another Horror Project
The Gorge was written by Scott Derrickson (The Black Phone, Doctor Strange) and produced by his frequent collaborator C. Robert Cargill. While the two already have a sequel to The Black Phone lined up for release later this year, they recently landed another horror story: Road of Bones.
Based on Christopher Golden’s acclaimed 2022 novel, Road of Bones will see Derrickson and Cargill sharing writing duties to tell a chilling story that takes place on the real-world Kolyma Highway — a 1,200-mile stretch of road that crosses through some of the world’s most treacherous terrain. The film’s plot revolves around a documentary producer who visits the road with a local guide on a mission to find the mysterious Oymyakon settlement.
The Gorge is now streaming on Apple TV+.
