B rad Pitt’s F1 is off and running with a remarkable box office launch that, like F1 racing itself, doesn’t look like it will be slowing down anytime soon. One of the movie’s co-stars, Sarah Niles, says she was sure the movie would be a hit at the premiere, all thanks to Tom Cruise.

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise spent years trying to make their version of "Ford v. Ferrari" with "F1" director Joseph Kosinski.

Pitt also noted that he’d love to work on a follow-up to Cruise’s 1990 racing film ‘Days of Thunder.’ Before F1: The Movie raced into theaters last week, Brad Pitt was originally set to star in another racing film alongside none other than Tom Cruise .
