This weekend, F1: The Movie is making a big splash in its opening weekend at the box office at movie theaters around the world. The Apple Original Film is being distributed by Warner Bros. for its theatrical run. But as an Apple production, it will end up streaming on Apple TV+. Here’s the expected streaming release date.

Solid box office numbers for F1 The Movie may help Apple. But it’s better news for Formula One and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Theater owners want to see more from Apple at a time when they’re often struggling with a lack of compelling material, especially for grown-ups. With 'F1,' they saw a glimpse of hope.
