Brooklyn Indie Fantasy Film Breaks Into Amazon Prime Top 10, Peaking at #4 and Surpassing Major Studio Titles

Brooklyn, NY — Ghost Punchers, the independent fantasy feature directed by Brooklyn filmmaker Kalani Hubbard, has broken into the Top 10 Fantasy Films on Amazon Prime, peaking at #4 and holding its place among major studio releases for five consecutive days and counting.

At its highest point, the film surpassed high-profile titles including Wicked and ranked just behind Steven Spielberg’s Hook, marking a rare achievement for a fully independent production competing in the same category as major Hollywood studio films.

The sustained Top 10 placement signals strong audience engagement and organic streaming momentum rather than a brief algorithm spike.

“It feels so surreal to be among these huge films,” said Hubbard. “It’s a dream to work with your friends and make art. We made something that we wanted to watch, and to see it chart next to legacy studio titles is an incredible honor.”

Unlike traditional studio-backed releases, Ghost Punchers was developed and produced outside of the major studio system by married filmmaking duo Kalani and Stefanie Hubbard. Its chart performance highlights the growing ability of independent filmmakers to compete directly in the modern streaming marketplace.

  • Ranking screenshots and screen captures
