‘F1' beats ‘World War Z' to become Brad Pitt's highest-grossing film, earns $545.6 million globally
Hollywood star Brad Pitt's Formula One-themed drama F1has just set a new box office record for the actor. The Joseph Kosinski-directed film has become the highest-grossing film in Pitt's career. The film has earned $545.6 million at the global box office, overtaking Pitt's 2013 zombie apocalypse film World War Z, which earned $540 million. 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. Some of his other box office hits are Mr and Mrs Smith ($487m), Ocean's Eleven ($450m) and Once Upon a Hollywood ($377m). Interestingly, this milestone comes just days after F1 became Apple Studios' most profitable theatrical film, outperforming the studio's previous releases, including Napoleon ($223 million) and Killers of the Flower Moon ($158 million). The film was made at a reported production budget of $300 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 follows a former Formula One driver, Pitt's Sonny Hayes, who is brought back by his former teammate, Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), to help turn around the struggling APX GP team. His task is to guide the team's young and outspoken rookie, Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris. The film explores Hayes's return to racing, the pressure of mentorship, and the internal politics of a struggling team.

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