US EditionApple's 'F1: The Movie' Roars to Top of US, Canada Box Office
- Apple's 'F1: The Movie' debuted over the weekend at the top of the US and Canada box office with $55.6 million in ticket sales.
- Apple supported the film with a comprehensive company-wide campaign including retail operations, aiming to boost its first summer blockbuster effort.
- Critics praised the racing drama, audiences gave it an A CinemaScore, and it benefited from the rising US interest in Formula One spurred by the Netflix series Drive to Survive.
- Paul Dergarabedian said, "F1 The Movie puts the pedal to the metal in an impressive overperformance" fueled by an exciting marketing blitz, and the film has grossed $144 million globally.
- Despite strong openings, the $200 million-plus production still needs more revenue to profit, but Apple's gamble marks its first major box-office hit after mixed theatrical results.
