Body of Lies, the 2008 espionage thriller directed by Ridley Scott, reached number 8 on Apple TV's United States Top 10 chart. The film debuted on the platform on November 2, 2026, and was originally released in theaters 18 years earlier.
Why it matters
The chart placement shows older catalog titles can find renewed audiences after arriving on a streaming service. Its ranking above Interstellar and an F1 film starring Brad Pitt places it among the platform's most-watched titles in the United States at that moment.
The chart placement is drawn from Apple TV's United States Top 10 ranking, and the film holds a 58% critic score from 208 reviews against a 62% audience score from over 100,000 ratings. Its position in the coming weeks has not yet been established.

Industry Dynamics
Streaming platforms increasingly rely on licensed and back-catalog films to fill their charts, and Body of Lies' ranking above newer releases such as Interstellar and an F1 film starring Brad Pitt reflects that pattern. The result shows how an 18-year-old espionage thriller can compete against recent titles on a subscription service's rankings.
Body of Lies is available to stream on Apple TV, so subscribers can watch it directly on the platform without a separate rental or purchase. Its placement on the US Top 10 chart indicates it is currently among the titles viewers are selecting on the service.
The takeaway
Older films can regain visibility when they arrive on a streaming platform, so viewers looking for catalog titles may find them alongside newer releases. Checking a service's Top 10 chart is a practical way to see which older titles are drawing attention.
