Brad Pitt’s high-octane F1 movie has officially crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office. With a domestic total around $165 million and international earnings pushing past $344 million, the film is now the seventh highest-grossing movie of 2025. Its momentum remains strong in major markets like Europe and parts of Asia, where Formula 1 enjoys a dedicated fanbase.
The production budget was massive—estimated between $200 and $300 million—with additional marketing and distribution costs bringing the total investment close to $350 million. This sets the break-even point at around $600 million, a target that is still just out of reach. While $509 million is an impressive haul, the film hasn’t yet proven to be a box office success in strict financial terms.
Apple’s involvement in the project means there’s more to the story than theatrical revenue. The company is expected to leverage the film heavily on Apple TV+ and through exclusive licensing deals. Ancillary revenues, streaming rights, and future merchandising could tip the scales toward long-term profitability, even if the theatrical run doesn’t recoup all costs.
In terms of cultural impact, the movie is already a win. It’s renewed interest in motorsport cinema and sparked discussions around the blending of Hollywood and real-world F1 racing. With top-tier visuals, a globally loved actor, and the ever-rising popularity of Formula 1, the film continues to accelerate forward—even if it hasn’t taken the financial checkered flag just yet.
