<p>Brad Pitt and company certainly have more to celebrate with F1: The Movie after Apple continued its foray into theatrical films this summer.</p>
<p>The acclaimed Formula One movie, which officially hit theaters on June 27, is enjoying continued success at the box office after crossing $560 million globally this week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.</p>
<p>DC Studios' recent summer release Superman, meanwhile, has grossed $565.52 million to date at the global box office — meaning F1 is coming pretty close.</p>
<p>Over the Aug. 1-3 weekend, F1 surpassed the $540.4 million earned by World War Z (2013) to become the top-grossing film of Pitt's career in a leading role, THR reported.</p>
<p>"Apple, given its incredibly large tech footprint, cultural branding resonance and tremendous financial resources, is the perfect partner for creatives and studios looking to replicate the home run that is F1: The Movie," said Comscore chief box office analyst Paul Dergerabedian via THR.</p>
<p>F1, which also stars Academy Award-nominee Kerry Condon and Oscar-winner Javier Bardem, is doing so well that Apple has reportedly stuck with a traditional theatrical window, rather than bringing the immersive film quickly to Apple TV+, as THR noted.</p>
<p>Plus, IMAX is rereleasing the high-octane film on select screens over the Aug. 8-10 weekend before expanding into additional theaters on Aug. 15. The moves make sense, as the action drama is IMAX's highest-grossing Hollywood film of 2025, with more than $85 million in ticket sales, THR reports.</p>
<p>Amid the ongoing success of F1, Pitt, 61, was recently spotted looking nearly unrecognizable in Los Angeles while filming scenes for his upcoming sequel to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). Reportedly titled The Adventures of Cliff Booth, Pitt will return as the eponymous stuntman, a role that earned the longtime actor and film producer an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.</p>
<p>While the original Booth movie was written and directed by Tarantino, the renowned filmmaker has handed off directorial duties to David Fincher for the follow-up. It is unknown if Leonardo DiCaprio will return as Rick Dalton in the upcoming film, which is set to premiere on Netflix on a date that is yet to be announced.</p>
