Brad Pitt's recent racing film F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski is continuing to amp up its speed to get through every major box office checkpoint. Over the last few days, the film has earned over $144 million globally and is ready to touch the $150 million milestone. In the US alone, the film has earned over $55 million. Distributed by Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, the film has been receiving rave reviews ever since its release.
Our CE review of the film read, "The visuals might have you believe that F1 is Top Gun: Maverick on wheels but Kosinksi knows better than to imitate an unreachable benchmark. So, he wins you over by going the opposite way. Brad Pitt isn’t going “Listen here kid, let me show you how it's done.” And for that and a bit more, we can be thankful. This isn’t a film about redemption, becoming a family, or other lofty themes. It is about chasing an unquenchable high, and F1 does that with dignity and style."
Apart from Brad Pitt, the film also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.
Legendary Formula One multi-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton was involved as a consultant and a producer under his Dawn Apollo Films banner. Joseph Kosinski was also a producer along with Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films. Pitt, Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner had also produced for Plan B Entertainment.
The film was made in collaboration with Formula 1 and the F1 community, including the 10 F1 teams and their drivers, the FIA, and race promoters. Copper CEO Penni Thow served as executive producer.
