[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that "F1: The Movie" will finally be available to stream on Apple TV+ starting on Friday, December 12.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer alongside F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, the film stars Brad Pitt as a veteran driver attempting a classic comeback. According to Deadline, F1: The Movie made the $629 million at the box office, making it both the highest grossing Apple Original Film and sports film of the year.

The film originally premiered worldwide on June 27. Such is its success that Apple did a second theatrical run in August, when it also became available to purchase at home. The popularity of the movie reportedly led Apple to bid for the rights to stream Formula 1 in the United States.

There is no plus on the AppleTV logo?

What is this 1985?

I guess if I was hoping to see this sooner I’d be bummed but December 12th is fine. Push it out to the new year, why not? Just for giggles.

Kind of bummed about this. F1 was a movie I wanted to see this summer but things just got in the way. I was hoping it would come this month at least.

Doesn't appear to be the IMAX® version based off the trailer.. lame that none of the home releases anywhere has the IMAX® version/ratio

 

[tennisproha]

I’m hoping this do something special with it like an IMAX version or a haptic version like the trailer.

Apple pushed this film so hard. This site and others push it so hard. WHY? It's just a movie...

Should have been added ages ago

 

[jz0309]

Just doing what all the other studios are doing. I have no problem waiting, maybe will watch this over the holidays, maybe

 

[Student of Life]

So this is not a movie anywhere participant? That sucks, I’m sure it will be on sale for 9.99 or less for thanksgiving days sales.

Nice movie to watch with my brother during Christmas.

 

[danpass]

Huh? I bought the movie on Sept 02. I've watched it several times since then.

Shall I interpret this to mean that TV+ subscribers will have access in Dec without paying outright for the movie?

Cuz that would make this article make sense lol.

MacRumors might want to read their article just above this one...

My steelbook copy arrives on Wednesday. Looking forward to rewatching it at home after seeing it in IMAX months ago!

A movie that made almost $700M at the box office. All that marketing paid off.

Wondering if Tron Aries will drop before F1

Time for another awkward ad in system-level notifications!

I think it’s soooo slimy that companies stretch out the release window for movies as long as possible.

The only way to legally watch this is to buy for $20 or $25 from Apple. There’s no reason they can’t offer a rental at the same time. Will they even offer a rental when it’s on ATV+? Or do you need to subscribe to watch?

Things like this are why I encourage piracy.

What I want to know is whether I'll be able to watch F1 it in "virtual IMAX" on my Apple Vision Pro. Being able to watch movies like Sinners, F1, One Battle After Another, etc. in an immersive virtual IMAX theater environment with the IMAX aspect ratio preserved would be a big deal for me as an AVP ower, and it's a feature I'm looking for. Is Apple listening?

 

[mogga71]

I enjoyed it and the casting was spot on ….but it’s no TGM.

A Tim 'Sherlock' Cook Production on movies anywhere ain't happening!

Almost like they're trying to make money off the thing they invested hundreds of millions of dollars in.

Encouraging people to steal a movie just because it isn't discounted or available to rent soon enough for your tastes is wild.

It’s more that I’m encouraging people to not support scummy business practices. Piracy is on the rise for a reason, it’s not the consumers’ fault.

Because it’s their movie?
