Brad Pitt's ‘F1' races past $500 million mark, becomes Apple Studios' biggest box office hit

The Hindu6 days ago
After just over a month in theaters, F1 — the Formula One-themed drama starring Brad Pitt — has crossed $509 million at the global box office, making it one of the most successful original films of the last decade. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film is now poised to challenge Pitt's all-time highest-grossing film, World War Z ($531 million).
F1 has earned $165 million domestically and $344 million from international markets. With a reported production budget of $300 million — a figure Kosinski has disputed — the film stands as Apple Studios' most profitable theatrical venture to date. It has outperformed the studio's previous releases, including Napoleon ($223 million) and Killers of the Flower Moon ($158 million).
The film opened in late June with a $146 million global debut and has maintained momentum despite strong summer competition. Its premium screen rollout and strong overseas response, especially in racing-obsessed markets, helped drive box office success. F1 has been granted an additional theatrical run in China, likely pushing its total even higher in the coming weeks.
This is only the second time Pitt has crossed the $500 million threshold in his career, a notable milestone given his selective approach to large-scale franchise films. F1 now ranks among his top five highest-grossing titles.
Also starring Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, and Javier Bardem, discussions about a sequel are reportedly underway, and rumors of a crossover with Tom Cruise's Days of Thunder have begun circulating.
