Brad Pitt-starrer 'F1' crosses the Rs 100 crore mark at Indian box-office
The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski of 'Top Gun: Maverick' fame, made its debut in Indian cinema halls on June 27. read more Hollywood superstar Brad Pitt's sports-drama film 'F1' has crossed Rs 100 crore mark at the Indian box office, Warner Bros India has announced. The film, directed by Joseph Kosinski of 'Top Gun: Maverick' fame, made its debut in Indian cinema halls on June 27. The studio shared the film's latest gross box office collection (GBOC) numbers on its social media handles. Damson Idris was trying to tune out the noise, but that's a little difficult at a Formula One race. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The British-Nigerian actor was in the zone, in character, filming the high-octane summer movie 'F1' with Brad Pitt at some of the world's most famous racetracks. While Idris' profile has been rising in recent years, after six seasons starring in the FX series 'Snowfall,' there's nothing like being next to globally famous Formula One drivers and a Hollywood megastar to put things into perspective. He was pretty sure he was going to coast under the radar. Then he started hearing not just his own name from fans in the crowd but 'Franklin Saint,' too, the name of his drug kingpin character on 'Snowfall.' 'It's funny, because I see myself as a young actor who nobody knows,' Idris, 33, said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Revving up to the next level Anonymity may already be a thing of the past for Idris, though. In May, he made a splash at the Met Gala, arriving in a full racing suit (branded with 'F1's' fictional team name APXGP) and a Swarovski crystal-studded helmet that he and two ushers removed to reveal a second look underneath. The boldness and theatricality of the stunt made it one of the most talked about moments at an event where everyone is trying to stand out. With added inputs from agencies

F1 Global Box Office Update: Brad Pitt's racing film swiftly glides towards USD 500 million worldwide courtesy excellent late legs.
F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem stands at a solid USD 434 million at the end of Sunday, the 20th of July, 2025. The Brad Pitt movie has been crushing all the trade predictions and expectations, every week; right from when the advance bookings opened, to almost a month after, as you read this article. F1 Is Seeing Its Theatrical Legs Improve Every Week The strong word of mouth of F1 has resulted in excellent box office legs. The holds are improving by the week, despite new competition. While the domestic collections are more or less in range, it is the collections internationally, especially in major Asian markets like China, Korea and obviously India, that are driving the film to global numbers that are higher than predicted. Talking more about India, the film opened to a very good Rs 5.25 crore net on day 1, including early shows. It stands at a blockbuster Rs 80 crore net now, and is still going strong in week 4. F1 Has Been Crushing All Projections, Every Week, At The Box Office A few weeks back, USD 500 million was said to be the film's ceiling. The lower estimates were at a modest USD 450 million. Now, the range has gone up to USD 550 million. This would be the first big theatrical win for Apple. Apple has mostly produced films for digital viewing and theatrical is considered to be an add on. None of their films have broken even theatrically so far, but F1 just might be the first. F1 Is Expected To Perform Strongly Once It Hits Digital F1 has already developed a cult following and these are good signs for the film's post theatrical shelf life. Apple is expected to make good streaming revenue because of the film's rewatchability factor. And who knows, we may also have a sequel to F1 with Damon Idris leading it, one day. F1 In Theatres

Box Office: F1 set to emerge as a blockbuster in India, Brad Pitt starrer amazes Rs 80 crore in 24 days
F1, starring Brad Pitt in the lead, continues to storm the box office in India. The sports drama, directed by Joseph Kosinski, won hearts in India and proved to be a big success. F1 adds Rs 7.50 crore to the tally in 4th weekend despite Saiyaara wave After storming over Rs 34.50 in its opening week, F1 entered the Rs 50 crore mark in the second weekend and wrapped its second week by collecting Rs 24.50 crore. Furthermore, it garnered another Rs 13.50 crore in the third week, bringing the three-week cumulative total to Rs 72.50 crore net at the Indian box office. The Brad Pitt -starrer entered its fourth weekend by collecting Rs 1.50 crore on Friday and recorded a significant jump of over 100% on Saturday and Sunday. The movie added Rs 3 crore each on Saturday and Sunday, concluding the weekend with a net collection of Rs 7.50 crore. The total cume of F1 crossed Rs 80 crore net in India by the end of its 4th weekend. One must note that the Hollywood movie faced a major Hindi release, Saiyaara in its 4th weekend. Despite Saiyaara 's blockbuster debut, F1 held its ground and recorded a solid figure. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of F1 Are As Under: Will F1 hit the Rs 100 crore mark in India? Based on the trends, F1 is expected to continue gaining traction for a couple of weeks. However, its pace will slow down with the arrival of Fantastic Four: First Steps next weekend. The movie had the chance of hitting Rs 100 crore at the box office, but now the figure looks a little challenging to achieve. It will be interesting to see where the sports drama will end its theatrical run in India. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

F1 Day 23 India Box Office: Brad Pitt's film grows by 65 percent on 4th Saturday despite Saiyaara wave; Nets an exceptional Rs 2.50 crore
F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and others is the biggest success story among Hollywood movies in India this year. F1 's opening day multiplier is a mindboggling 14 times after 23 days and by the end of its run, it can be even 16 or 17 times, given the excellent collections that the film is still registering after 3 weeks, that too with new local competition every week. F1 Grows By 65 Percent On 4th Saturday To Add Rs 2.50 Crore Net; Remains Unaffected By Saiyaara F1 collected Rs 1.50 crore on 4th Friday, actually growing by 25 percent from 3rd Thursday. The movie registered a 65 percent growth on Saturday to collect Rs 2.50 crore net. The total collections of the film stand at Rs 76.50 crore net after 23 days and by the end of day 24, it will be flirting with Rs 80 crore net. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of F1 In India Are As Under F1 Has Enjoyed The Best World Of Mouth For A Hollywood Film In A Long Time F1 opened to modest Rs 5.50 crore net including few early screenings. For it to reach this far is a testament of how strong the movie's word of mouth is. What's most surprising is that close to Rs 15 crore net of the film has come after it lost its IMAX exclusivity to Superman, and there's obviously a lot more to come. If all goes well, it can hit Rs 90 crore net too. And there's no reason not to believe it won't go well since the movie has been defying every trade prediction with a hold that not many films get to see. There is an outside chance that it may cross Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in the country, and that would be insane because the opening of F1 was practically a third of the former. F1 Is Kosinski And Pitt's Highest India Grosser F1 is the highest grossing Kosinski and Pitt film in India. The fact that both F1 is Kosinski and Pitt's highest Indian grosser when they literally have higher global grossers shows how much the Indian market for Hollywood films has grown. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates of F1.
