“F1 is a rapidly growing force in sports and culture in the US, and by bringing F1 on Apple TV live to IMAX theatres nationwide, we’re delivering the energy and excitement to even more screens in a truly immersive way,” Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of music, sports, and Beats, told Motorsports.com.

“F1 The Movie” debuted on June 27, 2025 with $55.6 million in North American theaters and $144 million globally over the weekend, which handed the tech company its biggest opening yet. It ended up grossing more than $630 million at the global box office during its theatrical run, according to estimates.
