F1: The Movie Box Office Cracks Studio’s All-Time Highest Grossing Charts In Less Than 2 Weeks

F1: The Movie enters an impressive chart at Warner Bros. as it continues to move up the box office leaderboards. The Brad Pitt-led sports film has been one of the biggest summer blockbusters of 2025. It’s a winner with audiences and critics, and had an impressive opening weekend, grossing $55.6 million domestically and $144 million worldwide.

According to The Numbers, the film has amᴀssed over $309 million worldwide at the box office and now finds itself within the top 100 highest-grossing films released by Warner Bros. As it enters its third weekend, F1: The Movie currently sits at No. 100, behind 2007’s Ocean’s Thirteen and ahead of 2017’s Annabelle: Creation.

It’s still in third place for 2025, sitting behind A Minecraft Movie and Sinners. While it likely won’t pᴀss Minecraft, which reached $955 million, it could pᴀss Sinners, which made $365 million and is now streaming on HBO Max.

What This Box Office Milestone Means For F1: The Movie

Brad Pitt’s Film Follows A Winning Formula

F1: The Movie has only been out for two weeks, meaning it will keep moving up the Warner Bros. charts. If it pᴀsses $400 million worldwide, that would place it near the top 70 in the studio’s history. It’s already an impressive feat, but it’s rare for a non-franchise film to make this much money this fast. However, the film has several traits that contribute to the film’s success.

First, the film got a boost from Formula 1 enthusiasts, as it’s one of the most popular racing leagues internationally. Second, the film is a theatrical experience that demands to be seen on the biggest screen possible. It follows a basic sports movie formula, but F1: The Movie is elevated by exceptional racing scenes helmed by director Joseph Kosinski and the entire crew.

It’s a simple story that feels old-school, and critics and audiences responded positively to it. It has an 83% critic score and a 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s an entertaining crowd-pleaser, and its strong word-of-mouth could extend its theatrical run and give it a higher spot on the Warner Bros. charts.

Our Take On F1: The Movie’s Success

Joseph Kosinski Will Be In High Demand

Kosinski previously directed 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, the Best Picture nominee and the second highest-grossing film of 2022. While F1: The Movie may not achieve the same box office success as Maverick, it’s still a major win for the studio and shows Kosinski’s previous success wasn’t a fluke.

The director has unlocked his formula for success: use simple stories as a platform to create spectacles using innovative filmmaking techniques. More studios need to keep him on their radar, as he’s proven he knows how to create blockbusters that draw audiences in a time when box office success is more uncertain.
