Brad Pitt and “F1” won the largest box office in Apple
The racing movie led by Brad Beit “F1 The Movie” set out to the top of the box office this week, and it is another in a series of big summer films that Hollywood hopes to continue to push people to theaters.
“Top Gun: Makeirick” Joseph Kosinski, producer Jerry Brookheimer, director “Top Gun: Makeirick”, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, achieved $ 55.6 million in the United States and Canada, according to Studio estimates. This is better than analysts for a serial race. People who read public polls before the release expect the first time to appear from $ 40 million to $ 50 million.
Backed by the global call to Formula One, the film received an additional $ 88 million at the international level. However, with a budget reported more than $ 200 million, not including marketing costs, “F1” will still need much more ticket sales to break it.
Only three Hollywood films have achieved more than $ 500 million worldwide – “Minecraft”, “Lilo & Stitch” and “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” – and everyone who opens above “F1” locally.
However, with “F1”, the iPhone maker has the first box office.
While Apple TV+ has succeeded in its decisive success in its performances, including “Severance”, “The Studio” and “Friends & NeighBors” – and won the best Oscar win in 2022 with “Coda” – her films have not yet been respected in the box office.
Her previous stars and directors of the theaters, including the 2024 “Argylle” spy comedy and romantic comedy in the “Fly Me to The Moon”, starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum.
“F1” has benefited from the operation of IMAX highly promoted, helping to make it look like it is necessary on the big screen. Film Technology provider said on Sunday that IMAX screens made up 23 % of the local weekend revenue for “F1”. About 55 % of local sales of large screen formats including IMAX, Dolby Cinema and motion seats.
As usual, I worked Apple with a major studio to deal with the theatrical version. “F1” is distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, adding to the studio winning chain that includes “Minecraft”, “Singer” and “Final Destination Bloodlines”. Pitt and Dede Gardner’s Plan B Enteintment are produced alongside Bruckheimer.
The quality also helped.
Producer Jerry Brookheimer told the Times earlier this month: “It is an emotional matter, it is exciting, it has romance, he has obtained a sense of humor,” Producer Jerry Brookheimer told the Times earlier this month. “This is why I entered this work – to make films that excite you on that big screen, and get out of the feeling that you are on a real journey and lost a few hours. This is the goal every time.”
Strong reviews of the fans and critics are well known to the future of the future of the film and its final performance on the Apple broadcast. Cinemascore fans gave the movie “A”, while the film bears the score of 83 % “Fresh” on spoiled tomatoes.
It was not so, it was not a matter of Universal Pictures “Murderous Doll” “M3GAN 2.0”, which first appeared twice as twice of $ 10 million and fell in fourth place at the local box office, behind “How to Train Dragon” and “ELIO”.
Blumhouse’s movie was expected to open about $ 20 million. It significantly decreased the success of the original, which opened with $ 30 million in 2023 and eventually raised $ 180 million worldwide.
In general, though, it was a strong powerful for the type of terror, starting with the “sinner” of Rayan Koger, who has now achieved $ 364 million around the world, followed by “final blood lines” and reviving the zombie concession “28 years”.
The residence strength of movies such as “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Lilo & Stitch” shows a continuous tie for family friendly films at the box office, which has been major winners since the spring. The exception was the original Disney and Pixar “Elo” animated movie, which achieved the worst weekend in Pixar last week.
“Elio” raised about $ 11 million on Friday to Sunday, thus reaching a total of $ 42 million in the United States and Canada for the 150 million dollar animation.
