Apple Original Films has a new box office hit, with \u201cF1: The Movie\u201d starring Brad Pitt, which has surpassed $500 million in global box office revenue.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

CNBC<\/em><\/a> cites Comscore data showing the movie hitting $509 million in ticket sales as of the final weekend in July. This is a significant achievement for Apple Original Films, a division of Apple that produces and distributes movies for Apple TV+.<\/p>\n

Apple changed the strategy, opting to show the film in theaters and IMAX screens before it eventually hits the Apple TV+ streaming service later this year. The gamble seems to be paying off; the movie has beaten the previous box office records held by Ridley Scott\u2019s \u201cNapoleon,\u201d which earned $221 million in worldwide ticket sales.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s \u201cF1: The Movie\u201d surpasses $500 million box office earnings<\/h2>\n

The flick will earn even more as it\u2019s still shown in cinemas worldwide, even though it had a limited IMAX availability due to other summer hits. \u201cF1: The Movie\u201d also beat \u201cSuperman\u201d (out only two weeks) from Warner Brothers at $502 million.<\/p>\n

It will make additional revenue from secondary sales to TV, premium on-demand video services, home rentals and more. It\u2019s estimated that the movie had a budget of over $200 million, so it can be considered a financial success.<\/p>\n

Buoyed by the success of the flick, Apple is rumored to be in talks to acquire TV rights to live coverage of Formula One races<\/a> in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cF1: The Movie\u201d has also beaten Apple\u2019s earlier original movies that saw theatrical releases, including Martin Scorsese\u2019s \u201cKillers of the Flower Moon\u201d (2023), which grossed over $158 million worldwide, as well as \u201cArgylle\u201d ($96 million) and \u201cFly Me to the Moon\u201d ($42 million).<\/p>\n

Apple Original Films also produced several movies for Apple TV+ that didn\u2019t hit theaters or had a limited release, including \u201cCoda,\u201d which won Best Picture at the Oscars but had a limited theatrical run, \u201cThe Banker,\u201d which has a limited release, and \u201cGreyhound\u201d starring Tom Hanks, which went directly to streaming.<\/p>\n
