Apple’s highly successful film, F1 The Movie, is set to return to IMAX theaters on August 8, 2024. This re-release follows a strong box office performance, with the film approaching $500 million in global earnings. The announcement, made by IMAX CEO Rich Gelfond, highlights the film’s continued popularity and aims to extend its theatrical run.
Currently, F1 The Movie remains available in standard theaters worldwide, where it has been performing well since its initial release. The IMAX version, however, had a shorter run initially due to competition from other major summer blockbusters. The re-release will provide audiences with another opportunity to experience the film in the premium format for which it was designed.
During IMAX’s recent quarterly earnings call, the company noted that its successful quarter was bolstered by the strong performance of F1 The Movie, alongside other titles such as Sinners and the latest installment of the Mission Impossible franchise. The film’s return to IMAX screens reflects its significance not just for Apple, but also for the IMAX brand, as it seeks to attract audiences back to theaters.
Fans of the film who have been anticipating its arrival on Apple TV+ will need to wait a little longer, as Apple has confirmed that the film will not debut on its streaming platform during the IMAX re-release period.
As excitement builds for the IMAX return, audiences are encouraged to seize the opportunity to see F1 The Movie on the big screen. The film’s thrilling portrayal of the world of Formula 1 racing has captivated viewers, making this re-release a highly anticipated event in the film calendar.
For those planning to catch the film during its IMAX run, the chance to experience the high-octane drama in an immersive format is not to be missed. Will you be joining the excitement?
