The film’s rich cinematography, along with Hans Zimmer’s music, is making it stand out among the crowd. It is best experienced in the IMAX screens, and thus, the re-release. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film features Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Javier Bardem in supporting roles. Brad Pitt is featured in the lead role, and his chemistry with Idris is one of the highlights of this film.
How much has the film earned so far in North America?
According to Box Office Mojo data, F1 collected $1.8 million this Friday, a decline of just 36.4% from last weekend. The domestic collection has hit $161.1 million cume after 29 days. The loss of theaters only affected sales, but returning the IMAX screens on August 8 will help boost sales.
Brad Pitt’s film’s international collection, from over 71 markets, has hit the $331 million cume on Friday. Allied to the domestic gross of $161.1 million, the worldwide collection now stands at $492.2 million. It is less than $10 million away from the $500 million milestone worldwide.
F1: The Movie is now tracking to earn between $550 million and $560 million. Hence, it can beat World War Z‘s $540 million worldwide haul as Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing film as a solo lead.
