The box office waved a checkered flag at Brad Pitt’s Formula One racing drama F1: The Movie, as it zoomed to #1 with a weekend gross of $55.6 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
The film stars Pitt as a retired driver who gets back in the game to save a failing team by coaching its promising rookie. Variety notes that the film from Apple, which is being distributed by Warner Bros., took in $144 million globally, shaping up to be the company’s first real blockbuster. Other Apple films, such as Killers of the Flower Moon and Argylle, under-performed at the box office.
Meanwhile, last week’s #1 film, How to Train Your Dragon, falls to #2 with $19.4 million. The only new movie to debut in the top 10, according to Box Office Mojo, was M3GAN 2.0, the sequel to the 2023 surprise hit about a sassy killer doll. It brought in $10.2 million — good enough for fourth place. Pixar’s Elio, remains at #3 for another week.
