The racing drama zooms past expectations, marking a career milestone for the Hollywood legend.

Brad Pitt’s F1 Shatters Box Office Records

August 04, 2025: Brad Pitt has officially hit a new peak in his storied Hollywood career. His latest film, F1, a high-octane racing drama set in the world of Formula 1, has become the highest-grossing movie of his entire filmography, surpassing global blockbusters like World War Z, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Troy.

According to studio sources, F1 has now grossed over $740 million worldwide, just weeks after its global release. The film’s success is being attributed to its thrilling racing sequences, strong word-of-mouth, and the worldwide popularity of Formula 1 itself.

A Fresh Lane for Pitt

Directed by Top Gun: Maverick’s Joseph Kosinski and produced in collaboration with Apple Original Films, F1 casts Pitt as a retired F1 driver making a dramatic comeback to mentor a younger racer. With real racing footage, a star-studded supporting cast, and cameos from actual F1 legends, the film won over both critics and audiences alike.

Pitt, 61, trained extensively with actual race teams for the role, even filming at real Grand Prix events to add authenticity. Fans and insiders have praised his performance as “one of his most intense and committed” to date.

Streaming and Award Buzz Ahead

The success of F1 isn’t slowing down. With international markets still booming and a streaming debut on Apple TV+ expected later this year, the film is now being considered a potential awards contender. Industry experts predict it may earn Pitt his next Oscar nomination, both for acting and producing.

As F1 races forward, Brad Pitt is once again proving that he’s not just a Hollywood icon—he’s still full throttle in the game.
