Brad Pitt’s Gritty Crime Thriller Is Officially #1 on HBO Max
Posted on by
Brad Pitthas continued to be one of the most enduring Hollywood stars, with the success of his 2025 summer blockbuster F1the latest proof. Next month, fans will get the first glimpse of Pitt’s return to an Academy Award-winning character as The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth debuts exclusively in IMAX on November 25, before moving to Netflix on December 23. A standalone sequel to Quentin Tarantino‘s 2019 masterpiece Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, the film has been penned by Tarantino, with the directing position filled by a man who has plenty of experience working with Pitt.
David Fincher, the three-time Academy Award-nominated director, has taken the chair for The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. It has been nearly two decades since Fincher last directed Hollywood veteran Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which earned the actor a nomination for Best Actor at the Oscars. Prior to that, the two made the masterpiece Fight Club, but some would say that the pair’s best collaboration was their first, the chilling crime thriller Se7en.
The utterly gripping, sometimes wince-inducing cat-and-mouse chase between a serial killer and Detective Lieutenant William Somerset (Morgan Freeman) and his newly transferred partner David Mills (Pitt) is the stuff of ’90s cinematic legend. The film, which earned widespread critical acclaim, was a massive boost for a mid-’90s Pitt who was struggling to establish himself as a worthy Hollywood lead in serious drama. 31 years later, he is now one of the most established names in Hollywood history, and he currently has his latest film, the survival thriller Heart of the Beast, in theaters. Currently, Se7en is one of the ten most-watched movies on HBO Max worldwide.

🖖Star Trek
01
What gives your life its deepest sense of meaning? Every universe is built around a different answer to this question.
02
Which kind of world do you most want to inhabit? The environment shapes who you become. Choose carefully.
03
How do you prefer your conflicts resolved? The shape of a world’s conflicts tells you everything about its soul.
04
Who do you want beside you when things get difficult? Your ideal companions reveal the world you were made for.
05
What is your relationship with power? How you seek, wield, or resist power is the map of who you are.
06
How does your universe treat good and evil? A world’s moral architecture tells you more about it than any map.
07
What role would you naturally fall into? Every universe has archetypes. Which one fits you without trying?
08
What do you ultimately believe about the future? The answer to this is the clearest window into which universe already lives inside you.
Your Universe Has Been Chosen You Belong In…
Your answers point to the iconic universe your values, your instincts, and your particular way of seeing the world were built for. This is where you would find your people — and your purpose.
A Galaxy Far, Far Away
Star Wars
You believe in the cause — in the idea that freedom is worth fighting for even when the odds are impossible and the empire is vast.
You are drawn to the moral clarity of a universe where hope itself is a form of resistance.
You’d find your people in the Rebellion — a ragtag coalition of true believers held together by conviction more than resources.
Star Wars is fundamentally a story about ordinary people choosing to matter in an extraordinary conflict — and that is exactly your kind of story.
The Force may or may not be with you. But the will to use it for something larger than yourself certainly is.
Middle-earth
Lord of the Rings
You understand, in the deepest part of yourself, that the journey matters as much as the destination — and that the world’s beauty is worth protecting even at great cost.
Middle-earth is a world of ancient wonder, deep friendship, and a darkness that only retreats when enough small acts of courage accumulate.
You would thrive here because you value the fellowship more than the glory — the road more than the arrival.
Tolkien’s universe rewards patience, loyalty, and the willingness to carry something heavy across a very long distance.
Those are not burdens to you. They are simply how you move through the world.
The Wizarding World
Harry Potter
You believe that love, loyalty, and doing what’s right are not naive sentiments — they are the most powerful forces in any world, magical or otherwise.
The Wizarding World is a place of wonder hidden in plain sight, where learning is transformative and the bonds you form at school follow you into every battle.
You would flourish here because you take both the magic and the friendships seriously — and you understand that one without the other is incomplete.
Harry Potter’s universe ultimately rewards those who choose to stand for something even when standing is terrifying.
That choice — made quietly, without guarantee — is something you understand completely.
Westeros · The Known World
Game of Thrones
You see the world clearly — its power structures, its hypocrisies, its brutal arithmetic — and you are not paralysed by that clarity. You use it.
Westeros is a world that rewards intelligence, adaptability, and the willingness to understand that every alliance is also a negotiation.
You would survive here — possibly thrive here — because you don’t confuse the world as it is with the world as you’d like it to be.
Game of Thrones is a story about what happens when the idealists and the realists collide. You are sharp enough to know which one lasts longer.
Winter always comes. You are already prepared.
The United Federation of Planets
Star Trek
You believe the future is worth building — that curiosity, cooperation, and the expansion of understanding are not just ideals but the most practical path forward for any civilisation.
Star Trek is a universe where the questions matter as much as the answers, and where encountering something utterly alien is cause for wonder rather than fear.
You would belong here because you are fundamentally optimistic about what intelligence and decency can achieve — while being honest about how hard that achievement is.
The Federation is the universe’s most ambitious thought experiment: what if we actually got better?
You don’t just hope that’s possible. You think it’s the only thing worth working toward.
How Much Did ‘Se7en’ Make at the Box Office?
An undeniable hit with critics, but could Se7en prove a financial success as well? The answer is a categorical yes, with the film turning a $30 million budget into $330 million in global revenue. Split between a domestic haul of $102 million and a further $228 million from overseas markets, the film rather poetically finished 1995 as the seventh-highest-grossing worldwide. The highest-grossing film of that year was the groundbreaking Pixar favorite Toy Story, which earned just $45 million more than Se7en.
Se7en is one of the ten most-watched movies on HBO Max worldwide. Stay tuned to Collider for more.
