With younger audiences flocking to movies such as You Can See Everything, Clayface, and Street Fighter, a counter-programmer targeted at older crowds has emerged as the biggest hit of them all. The movie in question has now spent more than a month in theaters, braving competition from all sides. While it maintained a solid pace in its first few weeks, it began to show a slight decline in the two subsequent frames. As it enters its seventh weekend of release, the film’s theater count was further reduced by Paramount. The movie, a survival thriller headlined by Brad Pitt, is now targeting the $200 million mark at the worldwide box office, on the back of solid reviews and near-unanimous praise from its target audience.

Pitt is coming off the biggest hit of his career, the sports drama film F1, which made around $630 million worldwide in 2025 and went on to earn a Best Picture nod at the Oscars. The new survival thriller reunites him with his Fury director David Ayer, who is on something of a hot streak himself. The filmmaker clawed his way back into the Hollywood big leagues with two recent Jason Statham vehicles — The Beekeeper and A Working Man — that further cemented his reputation as a crowd-pleaser of the highest order. Both The Beekeeper and A Working Man received high praise from audiences, but Ayer’s new movie with Pitt has outclassed them.

Here’s How Much the Survival Thriller Has Grossed So Far at the Box Office

We’re talking, of course, aboutHeart of the Beast. Produced on a reported budget of $82 million, the movie has generated nearly $175 million so far, as it enters its seventh week of release. Having reduced its theater count from 3,435 to 2,260 over the past couple of weeks, Paramount is removing the film from an additional 565 theaters this week. This takes its new theatrical footprint to around 1,695. TheHeart of the Beast now holds a “Certified Fresh”84% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot”95% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “A rigorously entertaining adventure story told through a spartan script and memorable set pieces,Heart of the Beastpays rousing tribute to man’s best friend.”
