Brad Pitt’s New Thriller Hits Major Box Office Milestone After Being Removed From 1,200 Theaters

Brad Pitt’s new thriller has reached a reported $170 million box-office milestone, outperforming several recent releases despite losing cinemas after its opening weeks. Its continued run matters as an example of counter-programming for audiences seeking a military-focused action thriller.

After more than a month, the film is showing in about 2,200 cinemas, down from roughly 3,400; around 100 cinemas dropped it after two weeks. The article credits its 95% Rotten Tomatoes audience score and notes that director David Ayer’s previous films, *The Beekeeper* and *A Working Man*, also received strong audience responses. It compares the film’s performance with Aaron Sorkin’s *The Social Reckoning*, which was removed from 2,000 cinemas after two weeks.
