The Formula 1 drama marks Apple’s biggest theatrical opening to date and sets a new career-high debut for Pitt, surpassing World War Z’s $112 million global launch.
The film grossed $144 million worldwide, putting it on pace to become Apple’s highest-grossing film, potentially overtaking Napoleon, which earned $221 million globally. With strong word of mouth and continued global momentum, F1 is positioned as both a critical and commercial milestone for Apple Original Films.
