In seven small days, Joseph Kosinski’s box office success, with Brad Pitt heading, obtained a little more than one million admissions and took the lead at the French box office, according to CBO. Internationally, the film produced by Apple and distributed by Warner Bros. to date, for a total of almost $ 167 million, according to Box Office Mojo.
A unanimous card that already motivates Brad Pitt to launch a series of F1 : “I don’t know how it will work (for a possible movie series), but we’ll try. I would love it,” said July 4 in the media published in Abu Dhabi, The National.
And to add: “I always dreamed of making a popular film, a film that improves with each vision. A film that brings together people. (…) The greatest pleasure, which makes me smile, is to see families, children with grandparents, large groups of friends who come together and take photos in front of the poster or car. It is rare that a film excites itself as reactions, especially these days.”
The media had announced him on June 30, according to “well -informed sources”, that “things moved” with respect to the potential production of a second opus.
The best launch for Apple
It should be said that F1, encrypted at 250 million dollars according to Variety, is, with much, the best start of an Apple film in the United States (57 million admissions during its first weekend, according to Box Office Mojo) since the company has embarked on the cinema six years ago. The blockbuster is above Flower moon murderers (23 million admissions in the same period of time), Napoleon (21 million) and Argyl (17 million).
In any case, this desire is shared by director Joseph Kosinski, who signed another renowned box office success in 2022 Top Gun: Maverick: “It is up to the public to decide. I think we leave a very open end for Sonny (Brad Pitt), Kate (Kerry Condon) and Joshua (Damson Idris). So yes, I think there is certainly more to say about the APXGP team, and about what Sonny Hayes will do from now on. But it is not I who decides,” he said to GQ.
As a reminder, Brad Pitt plays Sonny Hayes, a former F1 champion marked by a serious accident, who returned thirty years later in a bankruptcy stable. Next to him, a young rival with sharp teeth, Joshua, but also, deep down, the cream of the automobile pilots of the time, from Lewis Hamilton to Fernando Alonso, through Charles Leclerc.
