If you thought Apple was just a pretty face in the tech world, think again. Their new racing drama, featuring none other than Brad Pitt, just revved up to a $55.6 million debut in the U.S. and a whopping $144 million globally.
But let’s hit the brakes for a moment—while that kind of money sounds impressive, it’s still a hairpin turn away from that $200-300 million production budget. Still, if you need a reason to crank the volume on your Apple TV, this film might just do the trick.
The movie is on track to surpass Apple’s previous biggest box office player, Napoleon, which raked in $221 million. And before you start wondering about the power of Apple Wallet notifications urging you to catch the flick, let’s just say the ads were as subtle as a racecar zooming past at 200 mph.
So, whether you’re a die-hard F1 fan or just in it for the star power, this film is setting the stage for Apple’s cinematic future. Let’s see if it can keep the pace or if it’ll stall out like a certain other sequel we won’t name here.
Quick takeaway: Are you ready to trade your usual Netflix binge for some action and drama on the racetrack? Or will Brad Pitt’s charm be too much to resist?
