What This Means For F1: The Movie
F1: The Movie Won’t Stop At $300 Million
F1: The Movie has been Apple Studios’ highest-grossing film, including outpacing Ridley Scott’s 2023 movie Napoleon, which made $221 million during its theatrical run. With no sign of slowing down, the movie’s revenue continued to soar during the second week. With its rumored total budget being between $300 million and $400 million, it’s on its way to turning a profit.
In terms of the domestic box office this year, F1: The Movie has also made it into the top 10 of the highest-grossing movies released in 2025, right behind Final Destination: Bloodlines’ $137 million domestic earnings. Given that the movie’s domestic earnings nearly doubled its opening weekend during the second week, the movie will likely continue to climb the chart.
Meanwhile, F1 also secured a place as one of Pitt’s highest-grossing movies of all time, currently at no.13 behind Ocean’s Thirteen ($311 million), Inglourious Basterds ($316 million), and Megamind ($321 million). The 2025 sports flick is also $27 million away from surpᴀssing Se7en at the global box office, a movie that served as a pivotal point in Brad Pitt’s career.
