F1: Oscar-Nominated Bradd Pitt Movie Dominates Apple TV Charts

by

Formula 1 continues to be a popular choice for streaming viewers. Similarly, the recent film nominated for multiple Oscars has remained Apple TV+’s most-watched movie, maintaining its success despite—and likely because of—the award buzz.

I’m so glad to see that F1 is still doing incredibly well! According to Flix Patrol, it’s been at the top of the charts for at least a week now, which is amazing. It’s not just popular here – it’s been number one in places like the UK, Australia, Brazil, Canada, and South Korea too! Even better, it’s actually outperformed some other big titles on the platform in the US, like The Gorge and Wolfs.

The film F1 stars Brad Pitt as a veteran Formula One driver who comes out of retirement after 30 years to help save his friend’s racing team. The movie also features a talented cast including Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, and Kerry Condon. F1 quickly became a box office hit, earning over $631.7 million – more than double its $200-300 million production cost.

The movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski, was well-received by both critics and audiences. Currently, F1 has a high score on the Popcornmeter, which reflects fan opinions, and a critic score of 81% on the Tomatometer. Reviewers particularly praised Brad Pitt’s performance as driver Sonny Hayes, the film’s visuals, and how realistic it felt.

Several reasons have helped make the film F1 a strong contender during awards season. Even though it didn’t win at the Golden Globes, where it was nominated for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement and Best Original Score, F1 has been long-listed for the BAFTAs and is now nominated for four Academy Awards, including Best Film Editing, Best Sound, and the prestigious Best Picture award.

F1 Holds A Special Significance To Brad Pitt

Both audiences and critics are enjoying the exciting racing movie, F1, and it was a blast to film as well. Before the movie comes out in the US, Brad Pitt shared that working on it was one of the most memorable experiences of his career, and he believes that passion will be visible on screen.

I believe the results speak for themselves,” Pitt explained to F1 TV. “Ultimately, if the pit crew is happy with our performance, then we know we’ve done a good job.

Brad Pitt’s new movie has been a dream project for the actor, who spent two decades trying to make a racing film before finally succeeding with F1. He’d attempted several different types of racing movies, but none had worked out until now. Pitt credited Apple with providing the support needed to make the film a reality, and praised the vision of director Joe Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who were committed to creating the most authentic racing movie ever made – a goal he believes they achieved.

F1 is currently available to stream on Apple TV.
