The figures for the movie of Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt have been announced. For the Hollywood actor, it marks a new record in earnings amongst all his movies.
Last month, 'F1: The Movie' premiered in cinemas worldwide. Lewis Hamilton was co-producer of the film, which was directed by Joe Kosinski. In addition, Brad Pitt (Sonny Hayes) and Damson Idris (Joshua Pierce) were seen in leading roles.
For the American actor, it is a record-breaking film. According to Box Office Mojo of IMDbPro, the film has grossed 552,512,903 dollars worldwide at the box office. This means that this is now Pitt's highest-grossing film. World War Z from 2013 made 540,000,000 dollars.
At the time, the seven-time world champion he told GPblog among others: "I think the last thing we want right now is a sequel."
"It's been four years in the making, it was a lot of work, particularly for like Joe (Kosinski, the movie's director, ed). It's time away from your family, it's time away from your kids and so, and also you just need this to just simmer for a while, like just enjoy it. I think the worst thing we probably could do is to rush into doing a sequel."
"Most sequels are way worse and so we don't need to rush it. I think if we do do a sequel, I would say let's really, really take our time in getting it even better."
