‘F1’ Revs To $144M Opening Weekend Around The World, Brad Pitt & Apple Original Films Records; ‘M3GAN 2.0’ Powers Down At $10M+ – Sunday Box Office
'F1' the Brad Pitt Apple Original Films is expected to deliver an opening north of $40M-$50M while Universal/Blumhouse's 'M3GAN 2.0' is expected to crash. Previews of $10M were a record for Apple Original Films.
The Joseph Kosinski directed Formula One movie starring Brad Pitt, arguably the first of its kind tentpole for Apple Original Films on the big screen, bested the preview grosses of such Apple expensive movies as Ridley Scott’s Napoleon($3M), Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon($2.6M), Matthew Vaughn’s Argylle($1.7M) and Greg Berlanti’s Fly Me to the Moon($875K). F1 also smokes the previews of another racing car movie, the multi Oscar winning, solid grossing Ford v. Ferrari which is actually a high point for the struggling car sports genre at the box office; the best that there has been in recent times ($2.1M previews, $31.4M opening). Broken out, F1 did $7M last night from showtimes that began at 3PM and another $3M from earlier week Imax and PLF previews.
