Brad Pittand company certainly have more to celebrate withF1: The Movieafter Apple continued its foray into theatrical films this summer. The acclaimed Formula One movie, which officially hit theaters on June 27, is enjoying continued success at the box office after crossing $560 million globally this week,according toThe Hollywood Reporter. DC Studios' recent summer releaseSuperman, meanwhile, has grossed $565.52 million to date at the global box office — meaningF1is coming pretty close. Over the Aug. 1-3 weekend,F1surpassed the $540.4 million earned byWorld War Z(2013) to become the top-grossing film of Pitt's career in a leading role,THRreported. "Apple, given its incredibly large tech footprint, cultural branding resonance and tremendous financial resources, is the perfect partner for creatives and studios looking to replicate the home run that is F1: The Movie," said Comscore chief box office analystPaul DergerabedianviaTHR. F1, which also stars Academy Award-nomineeKerry Condonand Oscar-winnerJavier Bardem, is doing so well that Apple has reportedly stuck with a traditional theatrical window, rather than bringing the immersive film quickly to Apple TV+, asTHRnoted. Plus, IMAX is rereleasing the high-octane film on select screens over the Aug. 8-10 weekend before expanding into additional theaters on Aug. 15. The moves make sense, as the action drama is IMAX's highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025, with more than $85 million in ticket sales,THRreports. Amid the ongoing success ofF1, Pitt, 61, was recently spottedlooking nearly unrecognizablein Los Angeles while filming scenes for his upcoming sequel toQuentin Tarantino'sOnce Upon a Time in Hollywood(2019).
