F1 Opens To $144 Million At Global Box Office
The industry has eagerly awaited Brad Pitt's Formula 1 film titled F1 which is generating wild speculation around the world a full year before it opens 2025. Mixing the reality of F1 racing and a Hollywood story, the film represents the first meeting of Pitt the actor and the seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton as a producer and represents a very real collaboration. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), F1 is already generating excitement by filming during Grand Prix events around the world adding both realism and spectacle. As an international market with huge audiences, China, Japan, the world, and with F1's global following, movies are expected to drive box office, and major returns because of Formula 1's audiences. Industry sources say presales being strong is a given especially for theatre's in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Based on the global popularity of F1, and the appeal of Brad Pitt mixed with high speed filmmaking and real racing crimps, bode well for intended box-heavens and fantastic theatrical viewing and general prosperity for the next book in the motorsport genre. With film studios betting on Pitt, and F1 being hot, F1 could contribute to elevating movies from obscure bandgeons to rekindled interest for mainstream audiences.
