Apple’s ‘F1 The Movie’ set to zoom past the $400 million mark at the worldwide box office

“F1 The Movie,” an Apple Original Film starring Brad Pitt, and directed by Joseph Kosinski, debuted in theaters worldwide and in IMAX on June 27, 2025 and internationally on June 25.
This weekend, Apple’s F1 The Movie is set to surpass the $400 million mark at the worldwide box office, cementing its status as a cinematic juggernaut.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick, the high-octane racing drama starring Brad Pitt is now eyeing a bigger prize: surpassing World War Z’s $531 million global haul to become the highest-grossing film of Pitt’s career.
With its relentless momentum, F1 is proving to be more than just a film — it’s a cultural phenomenon.
Produced with a hefty $300 million budget, F1 combines heart-pounding racing sequences with a gripping narrative, earning widespread acclaim. Critics have praised its stunning visuals and authentic portrayal of the Formula 1 world, while audiences have propelled it to a near-perfect 97% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This enthusiastic reception underscores the film’s broad appeal, blending adrenaline-fueled action with emotional depth, anchored by Pitt’s commanding performance as a seasoned racer navigating the high-stakes world of F1.
The film’s box office success highlights the enduring star power of Brad Pitt and Kosinski’s knack for crafting visually spectacular blockbusters. As F1 races toward World War Z’s box office mark, it’s also rewriting expectations for sports dramas, drawing diverse audiences with its mix of technical brilliance and human drama. Industry analysts predict the film could climb even higher, potentially challenging other top-grossing films of the year.
For Pitt, this milestone would mark a career-defining moment, surpassing his previous box office peaks. Meanwhile, Kosinski’s direction has solidified F1 as a triumph of ambition and execution.
