### Apple’s F1 Film: Speculations About Digital Release and Expectations
A fresh speculation indicates that Apple’s eagerly awaited F1 film may be up for digital purchase on Friday. Nonetheless, there are reasons to take this news with a grain of salt.
The speculation comes from the site When To Stream, which asserts that the F1 film will launch on Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) this Friday. Forbes has pointed out that While When To Stream is typically trustworthy concerning PVOD updates, no formal confirmation has been issued by Apple or Warner Bros. regarding a release date.
The F1 film has already exceeded the standard 45-day period between its theatrical launch and possible PVOD release, making the August 22 date seem probable. The movie has turned into a surprise success this summer, with Apple re-releasing it in IMAX on August 8 and in other large format cinemas on August 15.
It’s not unusual for films to be released on PVOD while still having theater screenings. However, in this instance, Apple is aiming for a major global theatrical revenue benchmark of $600 million. Making the film available for home viewing might reduce the motivation for audiences to visit theaters, potentially affecting box office profits.
Moreover, conversations on a Blu-ray forum suggest a physical media launch set for October 7. Both the August 22 and October 7 dates are still unofficial and unverified.
The larger question for many fans is when the F1 film will be available for streaming on Apple TV+ for subscribers. Current predictions indicate that this might happen sometime in October.
As the situation unfolds, fans will need to remain alert for official updates from Apple and Warner Bros. regarding the digital and streaming access for the F1 film.
