Brad Pitt’s high-octane racing drama F1: The Movie is proving that the finish line is just the beginning. After four weekends of cinematic domination, the film has officially crossed the $300M overseas mark, with a global box office total revving up to an impressive $460 million. That’s right—this isn’t just another Fast & Furious clone; it’s a podium-topping original that’s leaving legacy franchises in its dust.
🎬 Domestic Power: Fast X Who?
In North America, F1 just lapped Fast X, collecting $153.6M domestically—without any Vin Diesel family BBQ scenes. Despite losing 318 theaters and the looming release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the film held strong, dipping just 26% week-over-week and adding another $9.6M over the fourth weekend.
Analysts are now projecting a final domestic run between $175M–$190M, a staggering number for a non-franchise sports drama.
📊 188BET Opening Odds:
“F1: The Movie global gross to cross $500M by Week 5”
- Yes: 1.45
- No: 2.60
Spoiler alert? Bet smart.
🌍 Global Circuit: India’s Turbocharged Response
While F1 is racing across the globe, its reception in India has been particularly turbocharged. With a net collection of ₹80 crore and over 50,000 admissions at Prasads Multiplex in Hyderabad alone, the film is a cultural phenomenon. Even Tollywood stars like Prabhas and SS Rajamouli were spotted at screenings.
Despite heavyweight competition like Jurassic Park: Rebirth and Superman, F1 maintains pole position thanks to strong word-of-mouth, a sharp script, and Brad Pitt’s charisma on overdrive.
🏁 What’s Fueling the Hype?
- Director Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) knows how to shoot speed like poetry.
- Real F1 elements with cameos from legends like Lewis Hamilton amp up authenticity.
- Themes of legacy, mentorship, and redemption hit all the right emotional gears.
Add to that Apple’s highest-grossing film status—beating out Napoleon and Killers of the Flower Moon—and you’ve got a Hollywood juggernaut that’s both critically acclaimed and commercially untouchable (well, almost—Tom Cruise is still $100M ahead).
