F1, Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing film as a lead, has earned an impressive $624.3 million worldwide. It currently ranks as the sixth highest-grossing title of 2025 and is among the top 200 highest-grossing films of all time. Recently, it surpassed the lifetime earnings of Iron Man 2, Ratatouille, Ant-Man and the Wasp, How to Train Your Dragon 2, and Logan. F1: The Movie is less than $2 million away from matching Fast Five’s $626.1 million global haul.
Made on an estimated budget of $250 million, F1 needed roughly $625 million worldwide to break even, based on the standard industry rule of earning 2.5 times its production budget. This puts Brad Pitt’s high-octane sports drama almost at its break-even point. As its theatrical run nears the end, F1 still has a chance to climb higher globally with a final push. One of the films currently ahead of it is the 82%-rated musical fantasy Wonka, starring Dune actor Timothée Chalamet in the titular role. Here’s how much F1 must earn to surpass it in worldwide earnings.
