Hollywood’s latest high-speed thrill, F1, starring Brad Pitt, is revving up to make a major splash at the box office this weekend. The racing drama, distributed by Warner Bros. on behalf of Apple, is forecasted to debut with over $100 million worldwide.
Domestically, F1 is expected to earn between $50 million and $60 million, though estimates vary from $35 million to $60 million, keeping audiences and industry watchers on edge. Internationally, the film targets a robust $75 million-plus across 77 markets, buoyed by Formula One’s global fanbase.
Brad Pitt plays a retired Formula One legend drawn back into the fast lane to mentor a rising star, portrayed by Damson Idris. The film carries a hefty production budget exceeding $200 million, making strong box office returns critical.
Boosting the film’s appeal is seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton’s involvement as producer, along with the reunion of director Joseph Kosinski and legendary producer Jerry Bruckheimer, fresh off the blockbuster success of Top Gun: Maverick.
If the opening weekend falls short, F1 may still accelerate its earnings during the lucrative 4th of July holiday weekend. With high stakes and star power, the film is poised to test Apple’s growing presence in theatrical releases.
