Brolin debuted in LRF's 5th film, a new adaptation of Stephen King's The Dead Zone. He played the charismatic villain of the film, which turned out to be pretty big box office hit.

Budget: $42,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $56,245,027

Foreign Box Office: $55,732,146

While Jonestown was not a success at the box office initially, it has gone down in history as one of the studio's most acclaimed films. The film went on to win the very first Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor GRA trophies.



Season 3

Inferno

Budget: $121,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $153,964,034

Brolin next appeared in Season 3 in a supporting capacity as Julius Caesar in one of the circles of Hell in Inferno. The film won the first ever Most Wanted Sequel GRA trophy in addition to its financial success. 



Season 15

Pirate Latitudes

Director: Ridley Scott

Writer: Matt Parker

Budget: $125,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $122,579,990

Foreign Box Office: $203,668,906

Total Profit: $26,053,532

After a full dozen seasons away from the studio, Brolin returned as the lead in Ridley Scott's big budget pirate film. It was another hit for Brolin at LRF - but it had no awards love despite pretty good reviews.



Season 21

The Void

Budget: $74,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $146,111,095

For the second time in his LRF career, Josh Brolin has found himself the leading man in a film that went on to win the GRA trophies for Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hardy are the only other actors to accomplish this feat more than once.



Season 26

Miracles

Director: Sean Baker

Writer: Chad Taylor

Budget: $47,000,000

Domestic Box Office: $36,920,494

Foreign Box Office: $29,041,002

A rare box office mix for Brolin with LRF, but it still wound up with seven GRA nominations - none for his supporting performance though.

Following his role in Sniper, he has lined up a crime drama with director James Mangold - probably due out for release in Season 35.
