And if Brad Pitt made us a Top Gun: Maverick ? Three years after the world card of the suite with Tom Cruisethe film F1 replayed the card of the cinema experience with thrills … and the public was there!

F1 Thus landed the pole position at the American box office, mostly signing a first weekend of good invoice internationally. We take stock.
Formula 1 ahead World War Z
Produced by Apple Studios For A massive budget close to 300 millionand surrounded by a bulldozer promo, F1 Careed his departure with 55.6 million dollars recorded at the American box office during his first weekend.
A score certainly far from those of the boxes of the year Minecraft (162.7 million) and Lilo & Stitch (146 million), but which remains very good for an original film in 2025, even doing better than that of Sinners (48 million), released last April. We wish Brad Pitt the same success as the feature film by Ryan Coogler, who ended his American career close to the $ 280 million.

But F1 Mostly shines internationally and displays a solid world cumulation at $ 144 million. A global reception which offers record start to the actor of Fight Club And Inglourious Basterdsbeating the 112 million launch of World War Z In 2007. A departure that will also quickly offer its biggest success to Apple, which was not successful at the box office with its previous superproductions Killers of the Flower Moon (158 million) and Napoleon (221 million).

The rest of the ranking is naturally distant by this threshold departure from F1. In second place, the remake live action of Dragons It is well and still gleaks nearly $ 20 million for its third operating weekend. Universal production reaches the symbolic bar of 200 million in the United States, and is expected to exceed half a billion worldwide next week.

The latest Pixar creation, Elioconfirms it its catastrophic start (the worst in the history of the studio) and falls in 4th place in the US box office. With only $ 42.2 million in its funds, Elio will certainly leave traces with the Luxo lamp studioand in its production policy for original films. Desperate.
We will finally note the flop of M3GAN 2.0 – which starts far from the figures of the first film – and that the excellent 28 years later Fall heavily for its second operating weekend, losing almost 68% of an audience undoubtedly part to see the racing car of Brad Pitt.
Danny Boyle’s film already totals more than $ 100 million in the world, but we will probably have to wait to see what it is doing 28 years later: The Bone Temple (released in January 2026) to find out if Sony gives the green light to the announced third film.
