The box office will be full of cars and kill robots thanks to “F1” And “M3GAN 2.0“, Who both open this weekend.
“F1” did $ 10 million in advance, including $ 7.2 million on Thursday, while “M3GAN 2.0” won $ 1.5 million on Thursday.
Apple’s “F1”, which features Brad Pitt as an aging Formula 1 runner, is on the right track to take first place, but the projections for his opening weekend vary. Some estimates have launched the racing film at around $ 50 million at $ 60 million, but some projections are 35 million dollars to $ 40 million. The original dramas of the adult did not also manage well at the box office as the friendly films focused on the IP and family took over, which explains the different estimates.
“F1” has a production budget north of $ 200 million, which would be a major swing for a regular studio, but less for Apple, the technology giant with deep pockets. However, the company has not yet made a profitable film because its big budget films like “Killers of the Flower Moon” and “Napoleon” were well received by critics but failed to enter the dark. Despite their financial difficulties, these films focused on the author prove Apple’s commitment to the big screen – and its Apple TV +streaming service.
“M3GAN 2.0”, the sequel to the viral horror blow of 2022, is expected to open its doors with $ 20 million. It is lower than the opening weekend of the original of $ 30.4 million, but it has only a price of 25 million dollars, so the continuation should be another profitable success. The universal horror and Blumhouse will compete with “How to Train Your Dragon”, which enters its third weekend, for second place at the box office.
