He has covered everything from Marvel to the Oscars, and Marvel at the Oscars. He also writes obsessively about the box office, charting the many hits and misses that are released weekly, and how their commercial performance shapes public perception. In his time at Collider, he has also helped drive diversity by writing stories about the multiple Indian film industries, with a goal of introducing audiences to a whole new world of cinema.  Even though she has worked far and wide in movies of all shapes and sizes, Anya Taylor-Joy seems to have a special bond with Apple TV. Her latest project, the limited series Lucky, has remained at the top of the streamer's viewership charts ever since its debut on July 15. Meanwhile, a genre-bending movie she starred in with Miles Teller has passed a monumental milestone of its own. The movie was released as an Apple TV original in 2025, and was primarily positioned as a Valentine's Day offering. While it featured plenty of romance, it also dabbled in sci-fi, action, thriller, horror, and other genres. The movie was directed by Scott Derrickson, best known for the horror hits The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Black Phone, and the superhero movie Doctor Strange. The narrative revolved around two characters who are stationed in observation towers on opposite sides of a gorge and tasked with ensuring that its mysteries remain hidden. The movie also featured Sigourney Weaver in a supporting role whose brevity was similar to that of the one she played in The Mandalorian & Grogu recently. While Apple TV has released several popular movies in the last year — F1, Fountain of Youth, and The Family Plan 2 — Taylor-Joy and Teller's blockbuster remains at the top of the streamer's charts. Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for. You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You're a systems thinker who can't help but notice the seams in things. The wasteland doesn't reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That's you. You'd survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely. Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards. The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn't have it any other way. We're talking, of course, about The Gorge. According to FlixPatrol, the movie has spent more than 500 days on Apple TV's domestic viewership leaderboard, which it continues to dominate even now. The Gorge received mixed reviews and is now sitting at a 62% critics' score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, "Mixing multiple genres, The Gorge makes for a surprisingly endearing romance until its action-thriller obligations steer proceedings back onto a more predictable path." The film's audience score of 74%, however, partially explains why it has been so popular with viewers. Taylor-Joy has already had a theatrical hit this year (The Super Mario Galaxy Movie), and she has another sure-fire hit (Dune: Part Three) lined up for release in December. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
