F1 Movie’s Box Office Collection Worldwide Data: Brad Pitt’s Racing Epic Speeds Past $300M

The F1 Movie’s Box Office Collection Worldwide Data showcases a high-octane triumph for Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 drama, F1, which has roared past $309 million globally, according to Box Office Mojo.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski and backed by Apple Original Films, the film has captivated audiences with its underdog story and thrilling racing sequences.

With a domestic haul of $120.7 million and an international gross of $188.5 million, F1 is outpacing expectations, but can it sustain its momentum against summer blockbusters?

Let’s break down its box office performance and what it means for this adrenaline-fueled saga.

A Record-Breaking Start for Apple

F1 zoomed into theaters on June 27, 2025, with a global opening of $146.3 million, marking Apple’s biggest theatrical debut ever.

The film’s domestic opening weekend grossed $57 million, while international markets contributed $89.3 million across 78 territories.

Posts on X praised its IMAX performance, with $27.7 million globally from IMAX screenings alone, making it a must-see big-screen experience.

Highlights of F1’s Box Office Performance:

• Worldwide Gross: $309,171,693, with 39% ($120,671,693) from domestic markets and 61% ($188,500,000) from international markets.

• Opening Weekend: $146.3 million globally, including $57 million domestic and $89.3 million international.

• Top Markets: UK ($9.2 million), China ($9 million), and Mexico ($6.7 million) led international earnings.

• IMAX Impact: $27.7 million from 1,682 IMAX screens worldwide.

• Budget Challenge: Estimated $250-$350 million production cost, requiring $450-$600 million to break even or succeed.

Domestic Strength and Challenges

Domestically, F1 has earned $120.7 million, driven by premium formats like IMAX and PLF, which accounted for 58% of its opening weekend.

The film’s appeal to racing fans (40% of audiences) and Pitt’s star power (35%) fueled its $57 million debut, surpassing Ford v Ferrari’s $31.4 million opening.

However, it faces stiff competition from Jurassic World Rebirth ($318.3 million global debut) and How to Train Your Dragon ($456.1 million worldwide), which could slow its domestic growth.International Dominance

The international box office, contributing 61% of the total, has been F1’s strongest asset. With $188.5 million, the film thrives in Formula 1-hotbeds like the UK, China, and Mexico.

Eastern Europe and the Middle East also showed robust demand, with the UAE posting $2.7 million, Apple’s biggest opening there.

The film’s global appeal, amplified by 33 promotional partners and events like the Times Square car “unboxing,” has resonated with international audiences, as noted by Apple’s Zack Van Amburg.

Budget and Profitability Outlook

F1’s reported budget ranges from $250 million to $350 million, per sources like Beebom and Sacnilk. To break even, it needs $450-$500 million, and $600-$650 million for a true box office success. At $309.2 million, it’s halfway there but faces a steep climb.

Marketing costs and Warner Bros.’ distribution fees add pressure, though its international strength and positive word-of-mouth (praised on X for its “spectacular” visuals) could push it closer to profitability.

India’s Contribution

In India, F1 has grossed ₹63.75 crore ($7.6 million), with a net collection of ₹53.2 crore, per Sacnilk. Its ninth-day earnings of ₹5 crore reflect steady interest, bolstered by 65,000+ advance tickets sold, ranking among India’s top 25 Hollywood openings.

While modest compared to its global haul, India’s performance underscores the film’s broad appeal.

Why F1 Resonates

Directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski, F1 blends high-stakes racing with a human-centered story of a retired driver (Pitt) mentoring a rookie (Damson Idris).

Producers Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton add authenticity, while the cast, including Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon, delivers emotional depth.

Fans on X, like @TheCinesthetic, hailed its “underdog story” and IMAX spectacle, driving its box office surge.

Can F1 Maintain Its Lead?

With $309.2 million in the tank, F1 has outgrossed Apple’s Killers of the Flower Moon ($157 million worldwide) and set a new benchmark for racing films.

Yet, its high budget and summer competition pose risks.

If it sustains its international momentum and leverages positive buzz, it could hit the $450 million break-even mark.

For now, F1 is a thrilling ride that’s redefining the racing genre.
