Overview

  • The film amassed approximately $165 million in U.S. ticket sales and $344 million internationally to hit the half-billion mark by late July.
  • F1 now stands as Brad Pitt’s second-highest grossing feature after World War Z, outpacing career staples like Troy and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
  • It has eclipsed all previous Apple Studios theatrical releases, including Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon, to become the company’s most successful big-screen venture.
  • As the second-highest grossing standalone original film since the pandemic, F1 trails only Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer in post-COVID box office performance.
  • Produced on a reported $200–300 million budget, the sports drama will rely on continued ticket sales and premium screenings to recoup its costs.
