Brad Pitt’s racing drama, ‘F1,’ has achieved a global box office triumph, surpassing ‘Superman’ with a staggering $613 million collection. The film’s international success, particularly in China and South Korea, fueled its rise, overshadowing even ‘Mission Impossible.’ Its wide appeal and Pitt’s star power, combined with IMAX’s visual spectacle, propelled ‘F1’ to become one of 2025’s highest-grossing films.

Brad Pitt’s high-octane F1continues to stun at the global box office, showcasing remarkable staying power even in its tenthcollection weekend. The racing drama grossed another USD 4.7 million overseas, dipping just -28.9% despite heavy competition, bringing its international tally to USD 425.2 million across 78 markets. Combined with its strong USD 185.8 million domestic total, F1 now stands at a roaring $613 million worldwide.With this milestone, Pitt’s racing spectacle has officially overtaken Superman ($610.7M) to claim the sixth spot among 2025’s highest-grossing films globally. For a film that many initially viewed as a niche sports drama, the trajectory has been nothing short of extraordinary.A significant driver of this global success has been the film’s overseas performance. F1 has shown extraordinary legs in key markets like China and South Korea, where word-of-mouth and repeat viewings have kept ticket sales accelerating far beyond opening weekends. While U.S. numbers have remained steady, the international market has provided the extra horsepower, turning Pitt’s project into a true global phenomenon.Industry watchers point out that F1’s performance is particularly impressive given the competitive summer and fall box office climate. Just a while , the film surpassed Tom Cruise’s much-hyped Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning which had collected USD 598 million, and now it has shifted gears to edge past Superman directed by James Gunn. While Superman is CD’s latest attempt to re-establish its universe, it is still one of the most known characters across the globe. For a standalone sports drama to outperform established superhero fare is a testament to its wide-reaching appeal and the magnetic draw of Brad Pitt in a leading role.Adding to its momentum is the IMAX factor. With visually breathtaking race sequences shot for premium formats, F1 has found an eager audience in large-screen experiences. The planned IMAX re-release has given the film an extra edge at the box office and in the coming weeks it is expected to take the film beyond the USD 620 million mark.
