The box office receipts for Brad Pitt's racing drama F1 made it one of the year's most eagerly awaited releases. During its first weekend in theaters in the United States, how did the Joseph Kosinski movie perform? According to the most recent Variety report, the expensive drama debuted with favorable reviews from audiences and reviewers and made $55.6 million domestically during its opening weekend.

The latest news from the F1 box office

The report claimed that F1 performed in line with expectations, which called for between $50 million and $60 million. The opening weekend statistics are particularly encouraging since F1 is not currently a franchise. However, the film must still maintain a steady performance throughout the first week in order to break even on its $250 million budget. The movie has also opened in 78 markets and earned $88.4 million from the foreign box office.

Apple's first hit

Apple has now achieved its first business success with F1. Ridley Scott's Napoleon and Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon, both of which did poorly in theaters, were earlier supported by the tech behemoth. Jamie Erlicht, Apple's head of worldwide video, said in a statement, "We're thrilled by the global response to F1 and grateful to the audiences who've embraced the film with such enthusiasm." The hard work of the complete cast and crew, as well as the foresight of Joe, Jerry [Bruckheimer], Brad, and [F1 champion] Lewis [Hamilton], are all evidence of this achievement. In collaboration with Formula 1, they've produced an amazing cinematic adventure that embodies the excitement and essence of the sport.

Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a seasoned Formula One driver who returns to the sport after a 30-year break, is at the center of F1. Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), Sonny's old teammate and now the owner of a failing F1 team, brings him back into the Formula One arena. The movie also features Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and Damson Idris.
