Brad Pitt's survival thriller Heart of the Beast is coming home. The David Ayer film arrives on premium video on demand Tuesday, Nov. 10, after grossing more than $180 million worldwide in theaters, Collider reported.
The PG-13 adventure opened in theaters Sept. 25 and was made for a reported $82 million. It holds a "Certified Fresh" 84% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 94% audience score, numbers that could help it find a second life at home.
A reunion that paid off
Heart of the Beast reunited Pitt with Ayer, who directed him in Fury. Collider noted that the two reportedly clashed over the final cut before reaching common ground. The film was Pitt's follow-up to F1, his highest-grossing hit as a leading man, which earned more than $630 million worldwide.
The cast also includes James Belmont, J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe. Ayer, who came into the project after the Jason Statham hits The Beekeeper and A Working Man, produced alongside Marty Bowen, Olivia Hamilton and Pitt. Collider called the film Ayer's third critical and commercial success in three years.
The digital release lands just ahead of Pitt's next big-screen outing. He returns as Cliff Booth in The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth, directed by David Fincher from a Quentin Tarantino script, which begins an IMAX-exclusive run later this month. Jessica Chastain's horror film Other Mommy also arrives on digital platforms Nov. 10.
