F1 Races Past Superhero Blockbusters in 2025 Box Office
4 Oct
Summary
- F1 film surpasses major superhero movies in 2025
- Collects $627.9 million globally, 6th highest-grossing film
- Outperforms Will Smith's Hancock superhero movie
As the summer movie season of 2025 winds down, a surprising box office champion has emerged: the F1 film starring Brad Pitt. The sports drama has managed to outperform several major superhero releases, including Superman, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: Brave New World.
While many big-budget superhero movies have already exited or are on their way out of theaters, the F1 film continues to mint cash at the box office. As of October 4th, 2025, the film has collected $189.5 million domestically and an impressive $438.4 million internationally, for a worldwide total of $627.9 million. This makes it the sixth-highest-grossing film globally so far this year.
The F1 film's success is particularly noteworthy as it has surpassed the lifetime global box office of the 2008 superhero movie Hancock, which starred Will Smith and earned $629.4 million. This signals strong audience interest in the F1 franchise and the potential for even higher long-term earnings.
