According to the studio estimates, the “F1 the Movie” started with $ 55.6 million in North American theaters and $ 144 million over the weekend, according to the studio estimates on Sunday, the Tech Company easily handed over its largest inauguration to the company so far.
Although Apple Original Films have found some notable success in their six years in Hollywood-which includes 2021 Oscar-winner “Koda”-its dramatic results are definitely mixed. “Argil” and “Fly Me to the Moon” and big budget awards such as Missfire Ridley Scott plays like “Napoleon” and Martin Scores’s “The Killers of the Flower Moon”, which the audience has been better in the Apple TV+ driving compared to the movie theater.
But “F1” was Apple’s first platform in the summer blockbuster area. It won a bid war for the project from most parts of the production team behind the 2022 box-office smash “Top Gun: Mavement”. Apple then participated with Warner Brothers, with a film starring Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Kerry Condon.
With a production budget of over $ 200 million, “F1” still has several gaps to be bent. But for now, “F1” is the forward speed.

Reviews for “F1” and audience’s response (“A” through cinemaskore) have been very good. This suggests that “F1” may hold well despite some of the upcoming competition in the coming weeks of Universal Pictures in “Jurassic World Riberth”.
Universal’s “M3gan 2.0” was expected to give a big challenge for “F1”. Instead, the robot doll sequel 2022 did not get close to the matching of the original box-office launch.
“M3gan 2.0” collected $ 10.2 million in 3,112 theaters. Mems and viral videos helped the first “M3gan” inauguration of $ 30.4 million and in a total race of $ 180 million on a $ 12 million budget.
