The racing film starring Brad Pitt, 〈F1 The Movie〉, has embarked on a full-fledged box office journey as it hits its opening weekend.
According to data released by the Integrated Ticketing System on the 27th, Joseph Kosinski's 〈F1 The Movie〉 attracted over 47,000 viewers on its second day of release, maintaining a 34.3% market share to secure the top spot at the box office.
This figure is more than double that of the horror film starring Lee Sun-bin, 〈Noise〉 (with over 24,000 viewers, a share of 15.2%).
〈F1 The Movie〉 tells the story of retired driver Sonny (Brad Pitt), who was once regarded as a promising next-generation Formula One (F1) driver, as he competes in an F1 tournament alongside rookie racer Joshua (Damson Idris).
Audience reactions are also enthusiastic. Based on actual viewer ratings, the CGV Golden Egg Index maintains a high score of 98%, receiving positive reviews.
As of 9 AM on the 27th, 〈F1 The Movie〉 is leading with a 33.3% reservation rate, with over 95,000 tickets sold in advance.
The Hollywood fantasy film 〈How to Train Your Dragon〉 (with over 29,000 advance viewers, a share of 10.2%) and the Disney-Pixar animation 〈Elio〉 (with over 21,000 advance viewers, a share of 7.3%) are chasing 〈F1 The Movie〉 in second and third place, respectively. These films tend to perform better on weekends than on weekdays, suggesting that the weekend box office competition will become even more intense.
