The strong performance of "Serve the People" ends a long streak of Hollywood films showing the best record on IPTV services, as well as "Kingmaker" which had been released on VOD services a couple of weeks prior. "Serve the People" is quickly proving to be a better fit for the streaming market than it was at the box office, where it has only had 72,733 admissions. At present "Serve the People" has announced no plans for an international English langauge release.
