Brad Pitt's racing movie 〈F1 The Movie〉 has hit the box office with a strong start during 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 〈Noise〉 starring Lee Sun-bin, which had around 24,000 viewers and a 15.2% share, placing it in second.
〈F1 The Movie〉 tells the story of retired driver Sonny (Brad Pitt), who was once 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〉 leads in advance ticket sales with a 33.3% share, with over 95,000 tickets sold.
Hollywood fantasy film 〈How to Train Your Dragon〉 (with advance ticket sales of over 29,000 and a 10.2% share) and Disney-Pixar animation 〈Elio〉 (with advance ticket sales of over 21,000 and a 7.3% share) are chasing 〈F1 The Movie〉 in second and third place, respectively. These films tend to perform better on weekends than weekdays, indicating that the weekend box office competition will be even fiercer.
