Brad Pitt has continued to be one of the most enduring Hollywood stars, with the success of his 2025 summer blockbuster F1 the 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.

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.
