F1 The Movie<\/strong><\/a> has sped past an astonishing box office record. The new movie, which was directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosisnki, follows retired Formula 1 driver (Brad Pitt) returning to the racetrack to team with a hotshot young driver named Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris).<\/p>\n

The F1 The Movie release<\/a> kicked off on June 27 with a domestic opening weekend total of $57 million. It kept climbing from there, speeding past the worldwide grosses of Napoleon ($221.4 million) and Killers of the Flower Moon ($158.8 million) to become Apple Studios’ highest-grossing theatrical release of all time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Per Deadline<\/a>, F1 The Movie has now hit a cumulative global box office total of $545.6 million. This has surpassed the $540.4 million worldwide haul of 2013’s World War Z to make it the highest-grossing movie starring Brad Pitt of all time<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There is only one movie in which Brad Pitt appears that has outgrossed F1 The Movie. That would be the superhero sequel Deadpool 2, in which the star makes a brief cameo appearance, and which grossed $785.9 million worldwide, making it the ninth highest-grossing release of 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What This Means For F1 The Movie<\/p>\n

This all-time record for F1 The Movie is particularly remarkable because Brad Pitt has had a decades-long career full of major successes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Other than World War Z, some of the highest-grossing movies starring the two-time Oscar winner include <\/strong>Troy<\/strong> ($497.4 million), Mr. and Mrs. Smith ($487.3 million), and the Ocean’s trliogy ($450.7 million, $362.7 million, and $311.3 million respectively).<\/p>\n

Altogether, more than 25 different Brad Pitt movies<\/a> have grossed more than $100 million worldwide, bringing his cumulative box office to many billions of dollars<\/strong>. While F1 The Movie has a solid, Certified Fresh, Rotten Tomatoes score of 83%, this level of performance is still completely overwhelming, speaking to the global popularity of both Pitt and the Formula 1 brand.<\/p>\n

Our Take On The F1 The Movie Box Office Record<\/p>\n

One peculiar aspect of this box office smash is the fact that the budget of F1 The Movie<\/a> is so high that it might not yet have broken even at the box office. With a reported price tag of up to $300 million, its estimated break-even point could potentially be as high as $750 million<\/strong>, a total which it seems unlikely to ever reach.<\/p>\n

However, Apple Studios typically uses their theatrical releases as brand promotion and as a foundation for their movies’ eventual streaming run on Apple TV+. By those standards, in spite of this hurdle, F1 The Movie <\/strong>is a smashing success, having garnered more than double the attention of any of their previous big-budget titles.<\/p>\n
