'F1: The Movie' races to $140M opening weekend
Cast member Brad Pitt attends the "F1: The Movie" European premiere in London on June 23, 2025. "F1: The Movie" raced to the top spot at the box office in its opening weekend, earning more than $140 million globally.
That includes $55.6 million in the United States, with $25 million of that coming on the movie's opening day Friday, according to The Numbers.
The movie, which stars Brad Pitt and was executive-produced by seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, was filmed at F1 racetracks through the 2024 season. Pitt plays an F1 driver who comes out of retirement to help a struggling team while also mentoring an up-and-coming young driver.
According to Forbes, "F1: The Movie" outpaced "Napoleon" ($78.8 million in 2023) for the biggest opening weekend ever for an Apple Studios film. However, with the cost of making "F1: The Movie" reportedly topping $350 million, it will need a continued run of success at the box office to make money.
