F1, starring Brad Pitt, continues to hold strong at the box office in North America and is set to hit a major milestone. The film is earning record numbers in Pitt’s career as a leading man, but remains under his World War Z. As a racing film, it is also performing strongly despite not being part of any racing film franchise. Keep scrolling for deets.

According to reports, the sports drama was made on a reported budget between $200 million and $300 million. To be called a box office success, it must earn between $500 million and $750 million. It will be tough for it as Superman and The Fantastic Four: First Steps will also be released this month. The film’s performance will dip further even if it has a different target audience.
