Timothy Olyphant has a new R-rated thriller movie that is now a streaming hit in the United States, and it comes before one of the actor's biggest films to date releases on another streamer. Olyphant might have appeared in many fan-favorite TV shows over the years, with Western projects like Justified and the Space Western The Mandalorian being great examples of how the actor tends to deliver magnetic performances in his projects. In terms of the big screen, Olyphant's credits go all over the map in terms of genres and casts he has worked with over the years in many movies. For instance, in a movie like Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Olyphant was part of a cast that had Hollywood legends like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, and Al Pacino, with rising stars at the time, like Austin Butler, Sydney Sweeney, Margaret Qualley, and many others. Even in smaller movies, like This Is Where I Leave You, Olyphant was part of a cast that featured names like Jason Bateman, Tina Fey, Adam Driver, Rose Byrne, and more. Now, the actor is experiencing streaming success through 2026's Over Your Dead Body on AMC+, and it has quite the duo of leads. Olyphant's Over Your Dead Body Continues Its Streaming Reign According to data from FlixPatrol, Over Your Dead Body has hit 60 days on AMC+'s Top 10 Overall chart (via Amazon Channels) in the United States. Over Your Dead Body was released in theaters on April 24, going on to finish its box office run with a modest $2.4 million. At a solid 78% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, the new R-rated comedy thriller is much better than its box office total suggests. This is exemplified by Over Your Dead Body's new streaming milestone, as trending for two full months on AMC+, competing against both movies and TV shows, is no small feat. At the time of writing, Over Your Dead Body is the 6th most-watched project on AMC+'s Top 10 Overall chart (via Amazon Channels). The movie follows Jason Segel and Samara Weaving as a couple, Dan and Lisa, who plan each other's murder when they travel to a remote cabin amid a difficult phase in their marriage. Olyphant portrays Pete, one of the convicted killers who escaped from prison and was hiding in the cabin. Over Your Dead Body ranks higher on AMC+ nationwide than Doc Hollywood, Grave Encounters, and more. The Walking Dead: Dead City currently leads the list. The Thriller Remake's Streaming Success Follows The Original Nicely Over Your Dead Body is a remake of the 2021 Norwegian film The Trip. In terms of reviews, the original still reigns supreme. Right now, The Trip stands at an 83% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and an 81% audience score. Olyphant's Over Your Dead Body ranks a little lower on both counts, including a 71% critics' score and a 78% audience score. That said, the R-rated thriller's continued streaming success on AMC+ bridges the gap between them, as the remake is keeping the same general story a hit for months in the United States, a win for Over Your Dead Body.
