Brad Pitt's starring film 'F1 The Movie' (directed by Joseph Kosinski) has surpassed a cumulative audience of 3.52 million in South Korea, making it the highest-grossing film of the year.
On the morning of the 9th, 46 days after its release, 'F1 The Movie' surpassed the cumulative audience of Tom Cruise's 'Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning' (3,391,877 viewers) to become the film with the highest audience among domestic releases this year.
Released on June 25, 'F1 The Movie' started as the number one at the box office during its opening weekend but lost its leading position due to the release of competing films like 'Jurassic World: New Beginnings' and 'Superman'.
However, it gained momentum through word of mouth and made a comeback to the top spot in its fourth week. It also reached number one again in its sixth week, demonstrating an unusual resurgence.
The film depicts the story of veteran driver Sonny Hayes, who, unable to be the best, joins the lowest-ranked team and challenges races alongside a genius rookie driver. The cast includes Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, and Damson Idris.
The film's performance at the global box office is also remarkable. With box office earnings exceeding $550 million (approximately 730 billion won), it has become the highest-grossing original film worldwide this year, marking Brad Pitt's all-time highest box office record in his career.
