F1 The Movie is continuing to climb a major chart thanks to a new box office milestone. The film, which was directed by Top Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski, stars Brad Pitt as a former Formula One driver who returns to the sport to team with a H๏τheaded young driver (Damson Idris). The movie also stars Kerry Condon and Javier Bardem.

2025’s F1 The Movie has already become the highest-grossing movie from Apple Studios worldwide, surpᴀssing both Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon. Apple Studios produced the movie alongside Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, Monolith Pictures, and Dawn Apollo Films, with Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures collaborating to distribute it in theaters.

Per ᴅᴇᴀᴅline, as of Saturday morning, F1 The Movie is projected to take in a 3-day total of $12.8 million at the domestic box office by the end of its third weekend in theaters. This is set to push its cumulative domestic total to $136 million.

In addition to making it the 10th movie of the year to pᴀss the $135 million domestic milestone, this total pushes F1 The Movie up the all-time domestic chart for Warner Bros. releases, placing it at No. 90, above 1978’s Superman ($134.3 million).

What This Means For F1 The Movie

It Should Continue To Climb

It ultimately remains to be seen how high the F1 The Movie box office will be able to climb. However, it is poised to continue racing past other Warner Bros. тιтles. In fact, it will only have to earn $0.02 million to climb one more slot, surpᴀssing the $136.02 million domestic gross earned by the 2012 Best Picture winner Argo.

Below, see a breakdown of the next five highest-grossing Warner Bros. movies at the domestic box office:

Less than $2 million stands between the F1 The Movie release’s current standing and a position that is an additional five slots up the chart. It should easily clear that total because, so far, it has had reasonably solid week-on-week drops of 54.8% and 50%.

Presuming it continues that trend, it should earn an additional $5.8 million or so by the end of its fourth weekend in theaters. If it does so, it will not only surge those five places, but surpᴀss 2019’s Shazam! ($140.4 million) to become the 82nd highest-grossing domestic release from Warner Bros.

Our Take On The F1 The Movie Milestone

Warner Bros. Is Having A Great 2025

While F1 is performing well, it’s a cherry on top of what has already been a great year for Warner Bros. In 2025, they have already put out the blockbuster A Minecraft Movie (which is their No. 4 domestic movie with $423.9 million), the original horror hit Sinners (No. 25 with $278.5 million), and the sequel Final Destination Bloodlines, among others.

F1 The Movie‘s third weekend also coincided with the debut of James Gunn’s Superman, which Warner Bros. is distributing and which is projected to earn more than $115 million during its domestic opening weekend alone. With The Conjuring: Last Rites still to come, the company seems poised to have an incredibly solid year in the theatrical marketplace.
