F1, which stars Pitt as over-the-hill F1 driver Sonny Hayes alongside up-and-coming APXGP teammate Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), has taken $552 million at the worldwide box office. That is now Pitt's highest-grossing movie as a lead (and discounting the likes of his blink-and-you'll-literally-miss-it cameo as The Vanisher in Deadpool 2).

F 1 is zooming to success much like the cars in the Brad Pitt movie. The Joseph Kosinski-directed movie has already amassed $561 million at the worldwide global box office, at the time of writing. As per BoxOfficeMojo, Pitt's movie earned $176 million in the domestic box office and $384 million in the international box office.

In a summer in which Superman and The Fantastic Four were battling the dinosaurs of Jurassic World at the box office, it's strange to think that a movie from Brad Pitt would be considered the underdog.
