Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the sports drama revolves around the character of Sonny Hayes, a Formula One driver, who retires due to an accident. Since Formula One is famous internationally, the film is expected to receive good support from the overseas centres. In the domestic market, Pitt’s presence and Kosinski’s credibility, mainly due to Top Gun: Maverick, will help.
Varied projections in the domestic market
According to Variety‘s report, F1 is looking to score $50-$60 million during the three-day opening weekend in North America. However, there are varied projections about the domestic opening, and many trackers suggest a start of $35-$40 million.
