How does it stack up against Brad Pitt’s F1?
According to Box Office Mojo‘s report, F1 opened with $57 million at the box office in North America. It went on to become the top-grossing film in Pitt’s career. Even if Heart of the Beast lands in its upper end of the projection, it will be far behind the opening weekend collection of F1. It will also be below Bullet Train’s $30 million opening weekend in North America, set in 2022.
As mentioned above, it portrays a relationship between a man and a dog, similar to The Dog Stars, and it is also a survival thriller. The Dog Stars collected $7.7 million in its opening weekend and is experiencing an underwhelming run at the box office. The Dog Stars has collected $13.8 million domestically so far and will emerge as a box-office flop by the end of its theatrical run. Whether Heart of the Beast will suffer the same fate remains debatable, as the Brad Pitt starrer has yet to be released in theaters.
What is the film about?
The film follows Special Forces officer James Belmont and his retired combat dog, Odin, as they struggle to survive in the Alaskan wilderness after a plane crash leaves them stranded. Battling freezing conditions and deadly dangers, the pair must rely on each other as their fight for survival strengthens the unbreakable bond between man and dog. Brad Pitt starrer Heart of the Beast will be released on September 25.
