Apple’s F1 Movie Has Smashed $500 Million At The Box Office

Fans of the Apple TV movie, F1: The Movie, will be able to watch it at home via Apple TV+ in October. But those who didn’t want to wait have helped the movie pass the $500 million mark at the global box office.

The Apple Original Film has totaled around $509 million globally, 9to5Mac reports, with 165 million of that having come from theaters in the United States — and $344 million internationally.

In fact, the movie is already just days away from grossing more than all of Apple’s original movies combined. This after F1 premiered on June 27 and hit an opening weekend of $145 million.

The movie was filmed during real F1 race weekends and follows Brad Pitt’s character as he returns to the F1 circuit to teach the new drivers how things are done.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition — and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

With the movie set to reach the small screen in October, F1 fans still have time to head to the box office to check the movie out ahead of its Apple TV+ debut.
