Jerry Bruckheimer produces F1 alongside Pitt, Chad Oman, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and seven-time Method 1 champion Lewis Hamilton. Manufacturing firms embrace Jerry Bruckheimer Movies, Plan B Leisure, and Daybreak Apollo Movies.
F1 is a big gamble by Apple Orginal Movies, which acquired the movie for $130 million to $140 million, earlier than above-the-line compensation. Filming started in July 2023, however rapidly shut down as a result of Hollywood strikes. In keeping with Matt Belloni of Puck, F1’s finances has exceeded $300 million due to the strikes and the sensible results. If true, F1 would grow to be probably the most costly movies of all time.
Warner Bros. Footage will launch F1 in theaters and IMAX on June 27, 2025. It’s going to stream on Apple TV+ at a later date.
