Brad Pitt is back into the streaming spotlight, not because of his latest Formula 1 blockbuster F1, but for his two-decade-old war epic that has quietly stormed onto streaming platforms. Long before he raced cars on screen, Pitt clashed swords in the dusty battlegrounds of ancient Greece alongside Orlando Bloom and Eric Bana. The 2004 film Troy, based loosely on Homer’s The Iliad, follows the violent unraveling of the Trojan War and doesn’t hold back on the blood, betrayal, and ego that fuel the conflict.

Troy Is Now One Of The Most Streamed Movies Worldwide

Troy, now streaming on AMC+ in the US and HBO Max in countries like Thailand, the Dominican Republic, and Ukraine, has suddenly found a new audience, per Collider. It might not have wowed critics back in the day as it landed average scores and lukewarm reviews, but that didn’t stop it from pulling in nearly half a billion dollars worldwide. It was not a small gamble with a $175 million budget, but the final numbers proved it paid off, per Box Office Mojo.
