Inches away from surpassing The Dog Stars
The Dog Stars was released in August this year, and it is a post-apocalyptic action thriller directed by Ridley Scott. Besides Josh Brolin, the film also features Jacob Elordi, Margaret Qualley, and Guy Pearce in supporting roles. Despite its strong cast, the film failed to impress audiences and was a flop.
According to Box Office Mojo‘s data, The Dog Stars collected $14.9 million at the North American box office. Hence, Whalefall is less than $5 million away from surpassing The Dog Stars as the highest-grossing film of Josh Brolin in 2026. It will achieve this feat only in its second weekend.
