F1 Box Office: Brad Pitt’s Magnum Opus Crosses Ocean’s Eleven, But It Can’t Match This Benchmark

Brad Pitt’s high-octane Formula One sports drama F1 is speeding toward the coveted $500 million mark at the global box office. The film has already raked in nearly $154 million in the U.S. and over $309 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to an impressive $463 million (according to Box Office Mojo).

And in doing that, F1: The Movie has now surpassed the worldwide box office of Steven Soderbergh’s cult heist film Ocean’s Eleven (2001), whose ensemble cast also featured Brad Pitt in a prominent role. Although Brad Pitt’s F1 may have earned more than Ocean’s Eleven globally, it still can’t beat this benchmark set by the iconic heist film. Read on to find out what that is.

F1 Can’t Beat This Ocean’s Eleven Box Office Benchmark

Ocean’s Eleven achieved the massive feat of grossing nearly $451 million at the global box office more than two decades ago. But the film was made on a budget of $85 million, meaning it earned around 5.3 times its production cost. In comparison, F1 was reportedly made on a budget of $250 million, according to Variety. So far, F1 has earned around 1.8 times that amount. But surpassing the benchmark set by Ocean’s Eleven seems virtually impossible, because, in that case, F1 would need to gross more than $1.3 billion globally to match the same multiple.
