Pitt Shifts Into High Gear With Record-Breaking Performance
The high-octane racing drama F1 continues dominating global box offices, having officially crossed $545 million worldwide—overtaking Pitt's 2013 blockbuster World War Z ($540M) as his most commercially successful project.
Apple Accelerates Past Competition
Beyond personal records, the film represents Apple Studios' biggest theatrical victory yet—far outpacing Ridley Scott's Napoleon ($218M) and Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon ($157M). The win proves Apple's growing influence in feature films while securing Pitt's status as a bankable star decades into his career.
The Billion-Dollar Question
While cementing Pitt's financial appeal, the milestone highlights Hollywood's changing economics. Despite starring in multiple generation-defining films throughout his 30+ year career—from Fight Club to Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood—the star has never featured in a billion-dollar production. Industry observers note this reflects his deliberate avoidance of superhero franchises.
The theatrical run continues through select venues ahead of an anticipated Apple TV+ streaming debut—likely timed for maximum holiday season viewership. Because really, what pairs better with eggnog than roaring engines and cinematic racing drama?
