- Apple's F1 movie is set to earn $145 million in its opening weekend, surpassing all previous Apple Original Films' debuts.
- Previous Apple films like 'Killers of the Flower Moon' and 'Napoleon' had lower opening weekends and total earnings compared to F1.
- Audience reception for F1 is positive, likely leading to strong word-of-mouth sales and higher demand for premium tickets like IMAX.
- Industry analysts predict F1's worldwide gross could reach $500-$600 million, outperforming all previous Apple films combined if it crosses $517 million.
- Apple's future commitment to theatrical releases is uncertain, with recent misfires causing hesitation, though director Joseph Kosinski's next project is promised a wide theatrical run.
