The Hulu streaming date for a cult classic featuring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton is set for next month. While the Oscar-nominated thriller was not a commercial success, it remains one of the most beloved films with a cultural impact, even nearly three decades after its theatrical release.
Fight Club starts streaming on Hulu in March
Fight Club will begin streaming on Hulu from Sunday, March 1, 2026, the streaming giant’s schedule revealed.
The film is based on Chuck Palahniuk’s eponymous 1996 novel. David Fincher directed it with a screenplay by Jim Uhls. Its cast features Edward Norton, Brad Pitt, Jared Leto, Helena Bonham Carter, and Meat Loaf, among others.
The story follows an unnamed narrator (Norton), a depressed office worker suffering from insomnia. He feels trapped in his corporate job and attends support groups for illnesses he doesn’t have as a form of therapy. During a business flight, he meets a man called Tyler (Pitt), and the two eventually open a secret underground club where men gather to release frustration. But things spiral out of control after his fight club grows significantly, and the narrator makes a shocking discovery.
Reportedly, the development of Fight Club began even before the original book was published, per The Ringer. When co-producer Ross Grayson Bell received an early galley copy of the book, he initially hesitated to adapt it because of the book’s violence. But after reading the major plot twist, he sought out several directors to helm it, including David O. Russell, though they denied the offer. Later, Fincher, having read the book by then, agreed to do it.
Interestingly, Pitt reportedly had his teeth chipped before filming to give his character an imperfect look (via Entertainment Weekly).
Upon release, Fight Club did not achieve immediate commercial success. But it managed to earn $101.3 million worldwide on a reported budget of $63 million, per Box Office Mojo. Nonetheless, it currently ranks 13th on IMDb’s Top 250 Movies list and is one of the most referenced movies of modern times.
