Brad Pitt's F1 Speeds Ahead While M3GAN 2. 0 Fizzles

Brad Pitt's new movie, "F1, " is zooming past expectations at the box office. It raked in $25 million on its opening day, including previews. This is a big deal because it's Apple's biggest opening ever, beating out their previous record holder, "Killers of the Flower Moon. " The movie is playing in all the fancy theaters, like IMAX, and it's expected to make even more money overseas since Formula One is huge around the world. But not every movie is winning this weekend. "M3GAN 2. 0, " the sequel to the viral hit, is off to a slow start. It only made $4. 5 million on its opening day, which is way less than what the first movie made. This is a bummer because the studio spent more money on this sequel, and it didn't even get good reviews. It seems like the hype from the first movie just isn't there this time around. Meanwhile, "How to Train Your Dragon" is still doing well in its third week, adding another $5. 7 million. It's on track to make over $200 million domestically, which would make it one of the top-grossing movies of the year. "Elio, " the new Pixar movie, is in third place, but it's not doing great. It had the worst opening weekend ever for Pixar, and it's not picking up much steam. And then there's "28 Years Later, " which is dropping fast. It made $3 million on its second Friday, which is a huge drop from its opening weekend. Even though it got good reviews, people aren't sticking around to see it. The studio already filmed a sequel, but whether it gets made depends on how well this one does. It's interesting to see how different movies perform. "F1" is proving that people still love big-budget action movies, while "M3GAN 2. 0" shows that sequels aren't always guaranteed to succeed. And "Elio" is a reminder that even big studios can have flops.
