Netflix eliminates from its catalog the Brad Pitt film that brought the most people to theaters, a milestone full of filming problems that prevented a sequel.

World War Z’ (Marc Forster, 2013), is the most successful movie of Brad Pitt’s career. However, now after ten years of its making, the streaming platform Netflix is going to remove it from its catalog on January 31.

The adaptation of the brilliant novel by Max Brooks, ‘World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War’ (2006), went from an exciting project to a headache for Paramount Pictures when its endless production problems raised the budget and delayed its release premiere.

With an initial forecast of 125 million dollars, the final cost reached 190 million.

Luckily for him, the public did not see it that way and, with more than 500 million grossed, it became the twelfth best release of its year and the highest-grossing title in the actor’s filmography, “a blockbuster that delivers what it promises” (entertainment without limits), but ironing out the tendency towards Wagnerian excess that seems to have imposed itself in our digital age,” Sergi Sánchez said.

It may not have exceeded one billion, like the untouchable ‘Frozen: The Ice Kingdom’ (Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, 2013) and the marvel ‘Iron Man 3’ (Shane Black, 2013), but the numbers made Paramount once again view the project favorably.

However, the project was delayed again and, with the abandonment of Bayona to focus on ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ (2018), a new via crucis began that left us without a sequel of which, as we see when reviewing its total collection, remains the actor’s biggest box office hit to date.

We will never know how they planned to continue the story, but what has emerged is one of the first discarded endings of the film, a version of the story in which Matthew Fox was not a simple cameo.

In that montage, Pitt traveled to Moscow to discover that zombies were sensitive to cold, obviating the need to look for a cure.

On the other hand, her wife had to sleep with a soldier (good old Fox) to get protection for herself and her daughters. Upon returning to the United States, the protagonist recovered his family and found that cake.
