Besides earning widespread critical acclaim, James Gunn’s Superman reboot, featuring David Corenswet as the iconic superhero, is enjoying a strong run at the global box office. According to Box Office Mojo, the film has already earned nearly $406 million worldwide, with $235 million from the domestic market and around $171 million from international territories.
Now, the big question is whether this superhero epic can overtake another major summer release — Brad Pitt’s Formula One sports drama F1. Let’s take a closer look at how close the box office race is shaping up!
Brad Pitt’s critically acclaimed film F1 has raked in over $153 million in the U.S. and more than $307 million internationally, bringing its worldwide box office tally to an impressive $460 million (according to Box Office Mojo). In comparison, Superman currently trails by around $54 million worldwide.
However, since F1 hit theaters two weeks earlier, its earnings are expected to slow down in the coming weeks, while Superman still has momentum, especially among audiences who haven’t yet watched it on the big screen. It will be interesting to see how soon the superhero film can catch or surpass F1 at the global box office.

What Is F1 About?
Directed by Joseph Kosinski, its plot follows Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a Formula One driver who raced in the 1990s but slowed down after a devastating crash. Many years later, Sonny is asked by his old friend and struggling F1 team owner, Ruben (Javier Bardem), to make a comeback to the racing track and mentor a young and gifted driver, Joshua Pearce (played by Damson Idris). Sonny must now prove he still has what it takes to compete at the sport’s highest level.
