Brad Pitt’s survival thriller Heart of the Beast needed only days to take over the home market. The Paramount adventure now leads the iTunes movie chart and sits ahead of Resident Evil. It follows a strong run in theaters.
Heart of the Beast is No. 1 on digital after debut
Heart of the Beast currently holds the top spot on the iTunes chart of best-selling and most-rented movies. Resident Evil ranks second, followed by Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Primetime. Apple updates the chart several times a day, so the order can change quickly. Paramount released the film digitally on November 10, 2026. That came 46 days after it opened in theaters on September 25.
The movie collected about $188.6 million worldwide on an $82 million budget, which made it one of the year’s surprise hits. Critics also responded well. The film carries a Verified Hot 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Brad Pitt plays Special Forces officer James Belmont. A plane crash strands him and his combat dog, Odin, in the Alaskan wilderness.
The pair must cover nearly 60 miles to reach safety, and Pitt shares almost every scene with his four-legged co-star. In the trailer, Pitt’s character promises the dog, “I’m gonna get you home.” David Ayer directs, and J.K. Simmons and Anna Lambe round out the cast. The film is Ayer’s first project with Pitt since their 2014 war movie Fury.
Buyers get extras with the digital release. A behind-the-scenes featurette shows the sets, the crew and the dogs. A second piece introduces the K-9s and explores their bond with Pitt. The package also includes deleted scenes featuring James and Odin. On the other hand, viewers who prefer a subscription service will have to wait. Paramount has not announced Heart of the Beast’s official streaming date. It’s reportedly expected to land on Paramount+ eventually.
