The Formula One racing pic starring Brad Pitt is a seminal moment for Apple's theatrical ambitions after several misses, while the 'M3GAN' sequel may come in well behind the first film.

Reviews for the movie are also very strong with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 84% critics and an early audience score of 97%. Word-of-mouth for “F1” is expected to be very strong, which could help it leg out as an alternative to superhero movies like “Superman” in the weeks ahead.

Brad Pitt's 'F1' racing movie leads the box office with a strong opening day, while 'M3GAN 2.0' disappoints debuting way below the original.
