**F1 The Film: A Cinematic Triumph**
Fewer than two weeks post-premiere, Apple’s *F1 The Film* is nearing the $300 million milestone at the international box office. This remarkable figure places the movie more than halfway to eclipsing the total worldwide earnings of all its prior theatrical releases, highlighting its aspirations for success on the big screen.
### On Course for a Historic Performance
In its opening weekend, *F1 The Film* is projected to have earned roughly $145 million. This amount aligns it with the $176 million opening weekend figures of other blockbuster films like *Killers of the Flower Moon*, *Napoleon*, *Argylle*, and *Fly Me to the Moon*. Importantly, this opening weekend not only established a record for Apple Original Films but also represented the most successful debut of Brad Pitt’s career.
Per a report from the *Financial Times*, the film is set to comfortably surpass the $517 million combined global box office of Apple’s earlier theatrical endeavors. This achievement may also mark a crucial moment for Apple: realizing profitability from a high-budget film.
> “Apple is also approaching another possible milestone: generating profit from a high-budget film. *F1*, co-produced by Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and Jerry Bruckheimer Films, had a production budget exceeding $200 million, with distribution expenses estimated to be over $50 million.”
Regarding the release of *F1 The Film* on Apple TV, the company has not yet unveiled any specific plans. Nonetheless, information about the anticipated release window can be sourced from various platforms.
