Bronson<\/a> has ascended to become a major viewership draw on HBO Max<\/a> almost 20 years after it first hit theaters. Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn<\/a>, the gritty prison drama grossed $2.7 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

The film falls behind a number of more mainstream movies, including The Twilight Saga: New Moon<\/a> (2009), John Wick: Chapter 3<\/a> \u2013 Parabellum (2019), 33 Photos from the Ghetto<\/a> (2026), John Wick: Chapter 2<\/a> (2017), and John Wick<\/a> (2014).<\/p>\n

Based on the real-life figure, Bronson features Hardy starring as the titular Charles Bronson<\/a>, a British criminal who adopts a violent alter ego once inside prison.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
