1: The film isn’t losing momentum, with Brad Pitt relishing the exciting developments ahead. Debuting with a staggering USD 144 million, it surpassed all initial predictions.

As for Brad Pitt’s character, Sonny Hayes, while he hints at a grim future, he hasn’t ruled out the possibility.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself yearning to get back behind the wheel again, if I may be so bold.
