Objectively, that\u2019s a pretty great opening- a quick search will show that the film will likely rank within the Top 40 opening weekends of all-time using this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boxofficemojo.com\/chart\/top_opening_weekend\/\">Box Office Mojo data<\/a>. Alongside an incredible 97% Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes and a flurry of positive social media fodder, the movie\u2019s on track to be a major success, right? Maybe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While F1 has had a very promising movie debut, the film reportedly was extremely expensive. While most reports have the film sitting between $250M and $300M, according to respected media analyst&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/puck.news\/apple-come-to-jesus-moment-for-movies\/\">Matthew Belloni of Puck<\/a>&nbsp;(also host of an incredible podcast) the movie may be one of the most expensive movies ever made, reportedly costing more than the $300M.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s a few reasons the film\u2019s cost was so high:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Production began but almost immediately halted due to the 2023\u2019s SAG-AFTRA strikes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using the lead actors in a real Formula 1 vehicle required increased training and safety protocols, further increasing costs.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intensive marketing campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So does&nbsp;<em>F1&nbsp;<\/em>have a chance at becoming profitable? Yes, but it\u2019ll be very challenging. A \u201csuccess\u201d is normally earning two to three times its production budget, meaning it\u2019ll have a lot of heavy lifting to do over the next few weeks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Awards Can\u2019t Save a Failing Movie Strategy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ll say what few are willing to admit: Apple TV+\u2019s theater-to-SVOD strategy has not been effective. Maybe I\u2019m a little cynical, but after five years of releases and only a few minor wins, it may be time for Apple to pull the plug on their movie strategy \u2014 or at least rethink it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The studio has had some critical success, with several projects having earned or been nominated for prestigious entertainment awards. Marketing a project as an award contender is expensive and, in theory, boosts audience interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>CODA<\/em>&nbsp;won best picture at the 94th Academy Awards and was nominated for several other categories. Almost two years later,&nbsp;<em>Killers of the Flower Moon&nbsp;<\/em>(KOTFM) earned many accolades. Aside from those, most other projects have failed to earn recognition from major Hollywood awards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But do prestigious accolades really translate to viewership for Apple? Short answer &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>no<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Martin Scorsese\u2019s project didn\u2019t even break even in theaters.&nbsp;<em>Killers of the Flower Moon<\/em>&nbsp;reportedly cost a little over $200M and only grossed $158M. Okay, what about Best Picture winner&nbsp;<em>CODA<\/em>? Despite its modest $10M budget, it only earned $2.2M at the box office. The studio also produced Ridley Scott\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Napoleon<\/em>&nbsp;movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix, a highly anticipated historical biopic. The&nbsp;<em>Napoleon<\/em>film grossed $240M on a $200M budget \u2014 technically breaking even, but likely a loss once marketing is factored in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAnalysts have questioned why Apple spends billions annually on a business so far afield from its core consumer-electronics operation, even if it&#8217;s barely a blip for a company worth some $3 trillion. &#8220;The strategic value it brings is sufficiently mysterious for people not to talk about it very much,&#8221; said analyst Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/business\/media\/f1-movie-apple-brad-pitt-0b2afaee?mod=e2tw\">an article by The Wall Street Journal.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I won\u2019t dive into every individual movie, because most of them follow this same pattern of being a&nbsp;<strong>box office flop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Streaming Analysis on our FULL article!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As part of a partnership with The Cultured Nerd, our independent outlet StreamScoop will be providing weekly news articles including streaming guides, streaming insight data dumps, and bi-weekly deep-dives for the site!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to subscribe to our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/streamscoop.substack.com\/\"><strong><em>FREE<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;newsletter<\/a>&nbsp;providing audiences with comprehensive media insights and news.
