Overview

  • F1: The Movie has amassed $582.6 million worldwide, including $190.8 million in North America and $401.8 million internationally, securing its status as the top-earning sports film ever and Brad Pitt’s career high.
  • Premium IMAX re-releases and targeted premium-format runs delivered a significant late-run boost that sustained its box office momentum.
  • Industry trackers rank F1 seventh among 2025 Hollywood releases, trailing James Gunn’s Superman by roughly $6 million in cumulative receipts.
  • A PVOD release is projected for August 22 on digital rental platforms, though Apple Original Films has not officially confirmed the date and the film’s permanent streaming home is expected to be Apple TV+ later this year.
  • Analysts note that steep production and marketing costs mean further international holds and downstream revenue will be critical for the film to reach full profitability.
