A Sequel To F1®: The Movie Is Reportedly Being Considered

Following a successful opening weekend at the box office, Apple Studios is reportedly considering a sequel to F1®: The Movie.

To say that Apple Studios needed the win with F1®: The Movie might be the understatement of the century. Apple hasn't had a major box office success with its theatrical releases, and the last couple of bombs have been bombs with big budgets. So they needed this movie to do well both critically and commercially, and they got the double win this weekend. It seemed that everyone involved knew what was on the horizon. In an interview with GQ, which was posted two days ago but conducted likely well before that, director Joseph Kosinski was asked about a potential sequel and said that it was for the audience to decide.

"That's up for the audience to decide," Kosinski says. "I think we leave it on a really open-ended moment for Sonny, for Kate [played by Kerry Condon], and for Joshua. So yeah, I think there's certainly more to tell of the APXGP team, and where Sonny Hayes goes from here. But that's not my decision."

Well, it seems like the audience might have made their decision considering the opening weekend. In a piece shared by Variety, it sounds like those sequel plans for F1®: The Movie are a bit more solid. They are reporting that "gears are turning on a potential sequel to 'F1,' according to knowledgeable sources." None of this should be surprising after that weekend, but the next few weeks will be interesting. It's one thing to have a good opening weekend; it's another to have legs at the box office and have legs with lots of other summer competition.
