LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA (Reuters) -The high-octane racing film “F1: The Movie” brought in $55.6 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada.
The movie, which stars Brad Pitt as a Formula 1 racer who returns to the track after an accident nearly ended his career, blew past the $45 million to $55 million pre-weekend domestic forecast from The Box Office Company.
Worldwide receipts topped $88 million, propelled by the sport’s strong fan base in Europe and Latin America.
