Sparks flying around Adrien Brody as László Tóth with a cigarette in his mouth in The Brutalist.
Among the most acclaimed films of 2024, director Brady Corbet’s The Brutalist is still awaiting a proper release domestically. The movie is currently playing in just eight locations nationwide, but that didn’t stop it from passing its first box office milestone. The three-and-a-half-hour-long epic drama reportedly played to sold-out shows in its first weekend, when it registered one of the best per-theater averages of the year.
On its third Friday, The Brutalist grossed just under $80,000 from eight locations, pushing its running domestic total past the $1 million mark. The movie reportedly cost less than $10 million to produce, which many observers have marveled at, considering its lavish production values. The Brutalist premiered at last year’s Venice Film Festival, where Corbet won the Silver Lion award for Best Director. It stars Adrien Brody, who remains a front-runner for an Oscar nomination.
Like that film, The Brutalist is also a post-war period drama, which follows a Hungarian immigrant’s epic journey to live the American Dream. The film opened to exceptional reviews, and currently holds a 93% rating on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. In his review, Collider’s Ross Bonaime described it as “an ambitious, towering achievement of a film.” Distributed domestically by A24, The Brutalist is also being presented in 70 mm, complete with a 15-minute intermission.
'The Brutalist' Is a Front-Runner for the Oscars Close Last year, director Martin Scorsese’s similarly epic Killers of the Flower Moon opened to $23 million in its wide release, but came at a reported price tag of around $200 million. Like that acclaimed drama, The Brutalist has been hailed as one of the great American films of the last few years. It’s also up for seven Golden Globes this weekend, including in the Best Picture - Drama, Best Actor, and Best Director categories.
