🎬 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dallas, Texas – July 5, 2025
Dallas, Texas – American Film Studio Corporation extends its heartfelt congratulations to Apple Original Films, director Joseph Kosinski, and the entire creative team behind F1 for the film’s outstanding global box office performance. Since its theatrical release in June 2024, F1 has grossed over $200 million worldwide, reaffirming the enduring value of premium, theatrical-first storytelling in a streaming-dominated era.
F1, which stars Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, and was produced in collaboration with Formula One and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, is more than just a box office success—it is a cultural moment that underscores the power of cinema to captivate global audiences through adrenaline, emotion, and authenticity.
Shot during actual Formula One race weekends across circuits like Silverstone and Monza, F1 brings a raw, immersive experience to the screen, made possible by cutting-edge cinematography, practical effects, and Kosinski’s signature flair for action-driven storytelling. The film’s dedication to realism—achieved by blending real-time footage with narrative drama—marks a return to high-concept filmmaking grounded in visceral spectacle.
“In an age where digital content floods our screens, F1 has proven that a well-crafted, emotionally resonant, and technically brilliant film can still unite people in theaters,” said Kam Junejo, President of American Film Studio Corporation. “We are especially thrilled to see such an ambitious project be rewarded with global acclaim. This is exactly the kind of industry-defining work that inspires the next generation of filmmakers.”
The film also represents a milestone for Apple Original Films. As the company continues to invest in high-caliber cinema through strategic theatrical rollouts, F1 joins a growing slate of successful Apple-backed titles—including Killers of the Flower Moon and Napoleon—that have elevated the tech giant’s reputation as a serious player in the global entertainment landscape.
In an era where the lines between streaming and cinema are constantly evolving, F1 serves as a reminder that the theatrical experience is not just alive—it’s essential. Audiences across age groups and continents have shown up for F1 not just because of the star power of Brad Pitt or the spectacle of racing, but because of the sincerity and technical artistry behind the film. Apple’s strategy to premiere F1 theatrically before making it available on Apple TV+ reflects a hybrid distribution model that prioritizes both reach and cinematic integrity.
As an independent studio committed to empowering authentic and globally resonant voices, American Film Studio celebrates F1 as a shining example of what happens when innovation, storytelling, and execution align. Whether it’s Hollywood veterans like Kosinski or newer voices emerging from the global south, the future of film belongs to those bold enough to blur boundaries while honoring the cinematic craft.
We applaud Apple, Joseph Kosinski, Lewis Hamilton, and the entire team behind F1 for not only delivering a box office hit—but for reigniting audience confidence in the big screen.
