In F1®: The Movie, Ruben Cervantes’ racing team is considered the worst of the worst. That’s a stark contrast from the movie itself, which crossed the box office finish line for an uncontested first place.
In its debut weekend, F1®: The Movie earned $55.6 million domestically—nearly triple the amount our second-place winner took. And internationally, F1® did even better, skidding into an additional $88.4 million.
That knocks How to Train Your Dragon out of the sky and into second place. In its third week since release, it sunk its retractable teeth into another $19.4 million in the U.S. In total, the live-action remake has grossed $454.4 million worldwide.
Pixar’s Elio rounded out the top three by bringing in $10.7 million. So far, the movie has made $42.2 million in the United States. That maintains the movie’s status as Pixar’s worst-performing animation ever: It’ll need an additional $20 million to surpass the next-lowest Pixar film, Onward. Regardless, it seems unlikely this sci-fi movie will ever break free of its financial hole, let alone Earth’s atmosphere.
Elio narrowly escaped M3GAN 2.0’s clutches. The horror sequel snatched $10.2 million from the box office in its opening debut. Not a bad haul for a horror franchise, but it pales in comparison to the original film’s $30 million opening. Chalk it up to faulty programming.
28 Years Later rounds out the top five, chomping down on $9.7 million. Worldwide, these reanimated creatures have caused $103 million in box office damage.
