In addition to earning an 82% critics’ score and 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, Brad Pitt’s Formula One racing drama F1 also became his highest-grossing film, surpassing the zombie action-thriller World War Z (2013) some time back. With a global box office haul of over $573 million (per Box Office Mojo), it currently ranks among the top ten highest-grossing movies of 2025.
F1 Set To Overtake A Popular Ben Stiller Film
After breaking multiple box office records, F1: The Movie is now inches away from overtaking a popular fantasy comedy film headlined by Ben Stiller, Night at the Museum (2006). Despite receiving a mixed response from critics, with a 42%Rotten Tomatoes score, it grossed an impressive $574 million worldwide. Here’s how the two films compare at the global box office, according to data from Box Office Mojo:

Domestic – $179 million
International – $394.3 million
Worldwide – $573.3 million
Night at the Museum Box Office Summary
Domestic – $250.8 million
International – $323.6 million
Worldwide – $574.4 million
Brad Pitt’s sports drama F1 is behind the Ben Stiller film by approximately $1.1 million at the global box office. Considering its current momentum, F1 is expected to surpass this milestone soon.
As F1 closes in on the first Night at the Museum film at the box office, how does it stack up against the two live-action sequels starring Ben Stiller? Here are the global figures of the two films, according to Box Office Mojo:
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) – $413.1 million
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014) – $363.2 million
This means F1: The Movie is already ahead of both Night at the Museum sequels. Now, it’s only a matter of time before it zooms past the original film in the franchise.
