Brad Pitt's ‘F1' races past $500 million mark, becomes Apple Studios' biggest box office hit
After just over a month in theaters, F1 — the Formula One-themed drama starring Brad Pitt — has crossed $509 million at the global box office, making it one of the most successful original films of the last decade. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick), the film is now poised to challenge Pitt's all-time highest-grossing film, World War Z ($531 million). F1 has earned $165 million domestically and $344 million from international markets. With a reported production budget of $300 million — a figure Kosinski has disputed — the film stands as Apple Studios' most profitable theatrical venture to date. It has outperformed the studio's previous releases, including Napoleon ($223 million) and Killers of the Flower Moon ($158 million). The film opened in late June with a $146 million global debut and has maintained momentum despite strong summer competition. Its premium screen rollout and strong overseas response, especially in racing-obsessed markets, helped drive box office success. F1 has been granted an additional theatrical run in China, likely pushing its total even higher in the coming weeks. This is only the second time Pitt has crossed the $500 million threshold in his career, a notable milestone given his selective approach to large-scale franchise films. F1 now ranks among his top five highest-grossing titles. Also starring Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, and Javier Bardem, discussions about a sequel are reportedly underway, and rumors of a crossover with Tom Cruise's Days of Thunder have begun circulating.

Damson Idris keeps it real on Chicken Shop Date
F1 star Damson Idris appeared on Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg, bringing charm, quick wit and zero tolerance for method acting labels. As the two sat down for chicken and deadpan banter, Dimoldenberg asked whether Idris was one of those actors who stay in character even when the cameras stop rolling. Without missing a beat, he leaned back and grinned: 'I mean, I'm not a Method actor, like what?' He went on to recall a brief phase during his Snowfall days where he kept his American accent at home until his family stepped in. 'Very quickly they were like, 'Shut up and talk normal,'' he laughed. Idris also opened up about preparing for his role in F1, Apple Studios' upcoming Formula 1 film co-starring Brad Pitt. He plays rookie driver Joshua Pearce, and said he worked closely with producer Lewis Hamilton to get into gear literally. 'He's the coolest guy in the world,' Idris said. 'He taught me how to drive fast.' The 111th episode of Chicken Shop Date proved why the series remains a viral favorite pairing high-profile guests with fast food and painfully awkward questions. Idris handled it all like a pro, balancing comedy with cool confidence. With F1 expected to bring him global recognition, Idris shows no signs of slowing down but he's staying true to himself off-camera. No method, just vibes.
