Hugh Jackman’s ‘Song Sung Blue’ Finds Gold on Streaming Charts

Hugh Jackman’s latest film is finally striking gold on streaming platforms. The Australian star’s new musical drama Song Sung Blue has climbed to the top of Amazon’s video-on-demand chart less than a month after its theatrical debut. The movie, which tells the true story of a Neil Diamond tribute singer, is now dominating the home entertainment market.

In Song Sung Blue, Jackman plays Mike Sardina, a struggling musician who teams up with a Patsy Cline impersonator, played by Kate Hudson. The two navigate love, hardship, and the grind of touring while channeling Diamond’s catalog of hits, including “Sweet Caroline” and “Forever in Blue Jeans.” Critics say Jackman captures the spirit and sound of the real Diamond with surprising authenticity. He performs every song himself, showing the same precision and energy that made his stage work in The Greatest Showman a global hit.

The movie earned $48 million at the global box office on a $30 million budget. Analysts say its strong VOD numbers could push it into profit territory soon. Momentum from streaming audiences suggests that Song Sung Blue is far from peaking.

Jackman’s recent career has been filled with high-profile projects, including his return as Wolverine in Marvel’s 2024 blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine. His continued success on both stage and screen has kept him among Hollywood’s most bankable stars. On Rotten Tomatoes, Song Sung Blue holds a 97% audience score, with reviewers praising the performances as “Oscar worthy” and “absolutely stellar.”

With Neil Diamond’s music at its center, the film hits a nostalgic chord for longtime fans. For others, it’s Jackman and Hudson’s chemistry that seals the appeal. Audiences seem to agree: Song Sung Blue may not just be another tribute—it could be one of the season’s biggest success stories. Analysts say the trend is far from over.
