Apple Original Films’\u00a0F1: The Movie\u00a0has now become the highest-grossing original film of the year as it hits\u00a0$605.9million at the global box office as of 27 August 2025, according to Box Office Mojo<\/a>. With Brad Pitt starring as Sonny Hayes, direction from\u00a0Joseph Kosinski, and almost complete access to Formula 1, it’s no surprise that this movie has seen such levels of success.<\/p>\n

In a market that is almost entirely dominated by franchise properties such as Marvel’s\u00a0Captain America: Brave New World\u00a0and\u00a0Thunderbolts, this original film has managed to carve out its place on the silver screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Overtaking Sinners, which held the record previously so far this year with a gross of\u00a0$365.8million globally,\u00a0F1 becomes the first major success for the technology brand, which saw limited success from its first two productions, Ridley Scott’s Napoleon ($218million) and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon ($157million).<\/p>\n

It also became Pitt’s most successful project, beating\u00a0World War Z, which earned $540.4million in 2013.<\/p>\n

China led foreign markets at $59.2million, followed by the United Kingdom ($29.5million), France ($24.7million), and Germany ($17.2million). The film’s IMAX sales contributed a whopping $84.7million to the total gross – an impressive number considering how few IMAX screens are available.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe F1 movie from Apple debuted to well-deserved accolades, marking the largest box office theatrical release for any streaming service and captivating audiences of both core and new F1 fans alike,\u201d Stefano Domenicali said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCultural moments like the F1 movie alongside exciting on-track action are generating strong viewership trends and especially robust social and digital engagement, including a record number of social impressions delivered by content posted on official F1 channels.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opening to $57million domestically and $146.3million worldwide, industry analysts didn’t expect it to reach the heights it has just reached.<\/p>\n
