'F1 The Movie' Becomes Apple's Biggest Big-Screen Hit

Apple's film "F1: The Movie" debuted over the weekend as the number one box office hit in North America and worldwide.
The release followed substantial marketing efforts and built on Formula 1's popularity fueled by Netflix's series and previous Apple films with mixed theatrical results.
The movie earned $55.6 million domestically and topped global receipts at $144 million, driven by IMAX and large-format screenings making up 55% of ticket sales.
Paul Dergarabedian of Comscore said the big theatrical release demonstrates prestige for Apple, and Warner Bros. praised the film as an audience winner with a deeply emotional and entertaining story.
Despite costing over $200 million, the film marks Apple’s biggest opening yet and suggests potential growth in blockbusters tied to sports fandom and innovative marketing.
