The controversial Best Picture nominee The Brutalist has passed a major box office milestone. The movie stars Adrien Brody as architect László Tóth, a Holocaust survivor who emigrates to the United States to start a new life. The Brutalist controversy stems from the fact that the faux Hungarian accents of Brody and his co-star Felicity Jones were augmented by AI technology. AI, which is controversial both because of its negative environmental impact and because it replaces human artists, was also used to create architectural drawings for the movie.
Per Deadline, as of Saturday morning, The Brutalist is projected to close out its seventh weekend at the domestic box office with a 3-day haul of $1.6 million landing it at No. 10 on the chart. This brings its cumulative domestic total to $11.8 million, seeing the movie cross the $11 million milestone shortly after crossing the $10 million earlier in the week. So far, it is the 13th movie to pass that milestone in North America in 2025.
The only other 2024 releases to pass that milestone in 2025 have been Mufasa: The Lion King, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Moana 2, Wicked, Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown, and Babygirl, a roster that is composed largely of blockbuster releases.
