The latest box office numbers are in, and it’s clear that Apple’s original film, F1<\/em>, has taken the top spot. With an estimated $55.6 million from 3,661 cinemas, F1<\/em> has delivered a record-breaking opening weekend. Warner Bros’ executives reported that about 55% of the weekend business came from premium formats, with IMAX screens generating a whopping $12.8 million.<\/p>\n F1<\/em> has earned $144 million worldwide, making it a new global opening weekend record for a Brad Pitt film. This surpasses the openings of other racing films, such as Rush<\/em> and Ford against Ferrari<\/em>. The film’s success can be attributed to its talented cast, including Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem.<\/p>\n F1<\/em> was directed by Joseph Kosinski, who reunited with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, known for his work on Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. The film tells the story of a former Formula-1 driver who teams up with a rookie. British Formula-1 legend Lewis Hamilton is one of the producers, alongside Kosinski, Bruckheimer, Pitt, and others.<\/p>\n The opening of F1<\/em> sets the stage for the coming weeks, with production costs reported to be around $200-250 million. July is traditionally the most lucrative month of the year at the box office, and F1<\/em> will need to maintain its speed to stay ahead. Universal’s Jurassic World: Return<\/em> is set to be released on Wednesday, which may pose a challenge to F1<\/em>‘s continued success.<\/p>\n Warner Bros reported that 58% of the audience were Caucasian, 17% Hispanic, 8% African American, 12% Asian, and 5% Native American\/other. The film has an A Cinemascore, with 97% of Rotten Tomatoes reviewers giving it a positive review. Men made up around 56% of ticket buyers, with an estimated three million people attending screenings of F1<\/em>.<\/p>\n Other films in the box office include M3gan 2.0<\/em>, which debuted in fourth place with an estimated $10.2 million. How to Train Your Kite<\/em> took second place, earning $19.4 million on its third weekend. Disney’s Elio<\/em> came in third, with $15.7 million on its second weekend. 28 Years Later<\/em> crossed the $100 million mark worldwide, adding $9.7 million in North America.<\/p>\n Live-action remakes of younger animated films have proven to be a winning formula this summer. Lilo & Stitch<\/em> has reached $400 million, with a value of $400.1 million. John Wick<\/em> spin-off Ballerina<\/em> added $2.1 million, taking ninth place with a total of $55.5 million. A24’s Sorry, Baby<\/em> had a strong limited release, earning $88,492 on four screens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Box Office Results The latest box office numbers are in, and it’s clear that Apple’s original film, F1, has taken the top spot.
