F1 with Brad Pitt: A project sequel for this number 1 film at the world box office?

After the immense success met by Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, director Joseph Kosinski swapped fighter planes for cars and that seems to be paying! Released last week, F1 has already collected more than $ 146 million in revenue worldwide, for an estimated budget between 200 and $ 300 million.

A start on the wheel hats therefore, and good news for Apple Studios, which produces the feature film and which had hitherto known a hit at the box office. Thus, films like Killers of the Flower Moon or Napoleon have underperformed indoor despite their illustrious directors (Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott) and other firm productions were squarely flops (To The Moon, Argylle).

A second chance for Apple?

Almost unexpected for the studio, the success of F1 would have already given ideas to producers. In an article leaning on the strategy that Apple could adopt to capitalize on these good results, Variety has indeed shared crisp information:

According to well -informed sources, the cogs of a potential F1 suite are being set up.

The film follows an old glory of the Formula 1 circuits, interpreted by Brad Pitt, whose career was interrupted suddenly following a serious accident, which, 30 years later, agrees to fly to the help of the stable of his former partner (Javier Bardem) where he must rebuild a name and tame his new teammate (Damson Idris). It is easy to imagine that the spectators, who noted F1 4.2 out of 5 on Allociné, would not be against finding these heroes in new adventures.

And either! Asked about a possible continuation by GqJoseph Kosinski replied: “It is up to the public to decide. I think we leave a very open end for Sonny, for Kate [jouée par Kerry Condon] And for Joshua. So yes, I think there is certainly more to say about the APXGP team, and what Sonny Hayes will do from now on. But it is not me who decides.“”

In any case, the box office has already spoken, and the ball is therefore in the Apple camp!
