Our Take On F1: The Movie’s Box Office
F1: The Movie’s Box Office Could Mean A Longer Theatrical Run
F1: The Moviehas serious potential, especially now that the movie is about to outshineThe Matrix. However, how much higher it’ll rank will also be determined by how long the movie will stay in theaters. The Apple Original film is expected to arrive on the streaming platform in early fall or late August, which means the movie might only stay in theaters for another month.
Its continuing box office successcould potentially prolong its theatrical run,similar toMission: Impossible 8, which stayed in theaters longer than most films. In that case, it’s very likely the Apple Original sports drama will make even more headlines.
