Following the huge success of 'F1 The Movie', Apple has made the
decision to re-release the Hollywood blockbuster in IMAX cinemas
from August 8. The movie recently hit $552 million across the
global box office, making it Brad Pitt's most successful movie. In
addition, the film has also become the highest-grossing original
feature of the year and Apple's largest film ever. In IMAX cinemas
alone, the movie has made $85 million, the most of any movie in
2025 – it has been distributed by Warner Bros. "Audiences around
the world have embraced 'F1 The Movie' as an adrenaline-pumping,
big screen experience, and its re-release in IMAX is a testament to
the global popularity of the film," said Matt Dentler, head of
features at Apple Original Films. "Joe, Jerry, Brad, Lewis and the
visionary team behind 'F1 The Movie' have delivered a summer
blockbuster that blends heart with action, and we can't wait to
give moviegoers another chance to see it in IMAX." The movie
follows the story of racing veteran Sonny Hayes, played by Pitt,
who makes a remarkable return to F1 following a horrific injury
after being hired to save the sport's backmarker, APEX GP, from
collapse. "With 'F1 The Movie,' audiences around the world headed
to theaters in droves to witness Formula 1 racing like never
before, and it showed at the box office," Jeff Goldstein, President
of Warner Bros. Pictures Global Distribution said in a statement.
"So, together with our partners at Apple Original Films and IMAX,
we jumped at the opportunity to give fans another go-round — or to
experience it for the first time — via IMAX's premiere screens and
sound, before summer is over."
