9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-08-30 00:29:18

Apple Original Films just had its biggest theatrical debut ever, with F1 The Movie. The movie reportedly had a budget of $300 million, which puts it in the same territory as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. But how big must the premiere box office be to count as a blockbuster in 2025? We did the math. Unlike these mega-franchises, F1 is trying to launch a new movie IP, and it’s doing so with a tech company behind the wheel. Or is it Apple who is trying to

Earlier this year, Elon Musk promised that Tesla's robotaxis would launch offering fully "unsupervised" rides with "no one in the car." That turned out to be a lie. And less than a week into the robotaxi service's debut, which is currently limited to a tiny geofenced area in Austin, Texas, it's already become apparent that the self-driving cars are very much reliant on the human supervisors — or "safety monitors" — that Musk was adamant he wouldn't need.
