Reported by Collider, "Now You See Me: Now You Don't" has taken the No. 1 spot on Prime Video in the U.S., beating "Reacher" and its spin-off "Neagley." The heist sequel, starring Mark Ruffalo alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Morgan Freeman, earned $243 million globally on a $90 million budget.

Ruffalo fans may be driving the surge. The Russo Brothers, directors of the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday," recently told Collider that Ruffalo's character Bruce Banner is "certainly involved in the story that revolves around Doom." They would not confirm or deny Ruffalo's appearance in the film, adding, "There are characters and actors who have not been announced, who are a part of 'Doomsday.'"

"Now You See Me: Now You Don't" is streaming now on Prime Video.
