‘F1’ Is Doing Well at the Box Office, and Is Now Already Apple’s Top-Grossing Theatrical Film
Rebecca Rubin, reporting for Variety:
When it comes to Apple’s biggest films, F1: The Movie has officially moved to pole position.
I will allow this pun.
F1 has generated $293 million at the global box office after 10 days of release, overtaking the entire theatrical runs of Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon ($158 million worldwide) and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon ($221 million) to stand as Apple’s highest-grossing movie to date. That’s not a particularly difficult benchmark to break, since Apple has only released five films theatrically and two of them, Fly Me to the Moon ($42 million) and Argylle ($96 million), were outright flops.
Not to mention that Wolfs, last year’s crime caper starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, was supposed to get a theatrical release but didn’t, leading to bad feelings and, later, a cancelled sequel. Wolfs wasn’t bad. I’d say it was decent. Critics seem to agree. But with Clooney and Pitt starring and Watts at the helm, it felt like a movie that should have at least been pretty damn good. And it wasn’t.
So it’s not just that F1: The Movie is doing well at the box office. It’s seemingly a good movie that delivers what it promises.
