F1, starring Brad Pitt in the leading role, is all set to mark its grand arrival on the big screen tomorrow. The film has been in the making for a long time, and finally, it is ready to be served to the audience. Being an ambitious project for all those involved, all eyes are set on how it takes off at the worldwide box office, as it will decide if the film is on the right track. Currently, a start of much above $100 million is locked.
But the film is set for a surprising solid start in India too!
The Brad Pitt-led sports thriller, F1 (Formula One) has surpassed all expectations in its advance booking. F1 has sold 65,000 tickets mark in the national chains by mid-night. The sales are largely driven by the IMAX versions, as the makers have promised the best theatrical experience on the biggest screen.
The first day of F1 in India is expected to be around the Rs 5.50 -6 crore mark, which is a very good start for a non-franchise film. The sales are very good for the entire weekend, which means that the Brad Pitt starrer is looking at a victory run in India. In the last month, films like Final Destination 6 and Mission Impossible 8 have done well at the box office in India, and F1 is expected to continue the golden run of films from the West.
The fact that F1 is not a part of any franchise or universe makes the pre-sales even special, as the top advances for Hollywood in India is primarily dominated by strong IPs. Oppenheimer holds the record for the biggest advance booking for a non-IP film in India, and F1 could hold the second spot by mid-night.
