Paramount's survival thriller Heart of the Beast has been removed from nearly 1,200 theaters roughly a month after it opened, according to Collider. The wide drop leaves the film on far fewer screens as it continues its theatrical run.

Ayer's recent action work includes The Beekeeper, which grossed more than $160 million worldwide in 2024 and starred Jason Statham. A Working Man, the pair's follow-up, debuted a year later and generated nearly $100 million worldwide, and The Beekeeper is set to get a sequel in January 2027.
