Overview

  • F1 The Movie returns to select IMAX theaters on August 8 with a wider rollout to additional IMAX and large-format screens on August 15.
  • The Brad Pitt–led racing drama has crossed $550 million at the global box office, becoming Apple Original Films’ highest-grossing theatrical release.
  • Premium-format showings have generated $85 million so far, representing nearly 23 percent of its North American opening and 19 percent of its worldwide debut.
  • The film’s box office surge contributed to a one-time 40 percent quarterly revenue boost for the Formula One Group, owned by Liberty Media.
  • Shot entirely with IMAX-certified cameras in a 1.90:1 aspect ratio and featuring a custom sound mix, the project highlights Apple’s pivot to big-budget tentpole cinema.
