Brad Pitt’s 2024 film, Wolfs couldn’t perform well at the box office, due to which, there was a lot of pressure on his next film, F1, to perform well, especially in terms of revenue. The sports drama was released worldwide on June 27, 2025, and, as expected, Joseph Kosinski’s direction left everyone in awe. Brad Pitt looked absolutely smashing in the character of a racing driver named ‘Sonny Hayes’. For the uninitiated, Sonny Hayes’ backstory is inspired by the famous Formula One racing driver, Martin Donnelly, and it’s fair to say that it was inspirational.
Brad Pitt’s F1 became Apple’s highest-grossing film ever after it earned USD 293 million worldwide. Not only this, F1 is also the film with the biggest opening (USD 11 million) in Brad Pitt’s career, surpassing his iconic movie, World War Z. According to multiple reports, the movie is set to be re-released worldwide on July 27, 2025, as the makers attempt to capitalise on the film’s popularity. Not only this, there’s also a possibility of a sequel or even a franchise centred around Formula One.
