00:00Brad Pitt and Megan, the menacing AI doll, are set to face off against each other at the box office this weekend, but who will come out on top?
00:07According to box office pundits, Pitt's Formula One racing film F1 The Movie is set to cross the finish line first, with an impressive domestic opening of $40 to $50 million.
00:17Warner Brothers, which is distributing the big-budget summer tentpole for Apple Original Films, is being more conservative.
00:23They suggest the movie will debut in the high $30 million range.
00:26The film sees Pitt play an injured former F1 driver who comes out of retirement to team up with a younger driver, played by Damson Idris.
00:34Formula One is a team sport, it always was.
00:41Listen, let's get this straight.
00:43We all lose our jobs if you can't pull off a miracle.
00:46As for the Megan sequel, Megan 2.0, Universal is forecasting a $20 million-plus opening, which would be $10 million less than the first film's $30.4 million record domestic opening in December 2023.
00:59That movie earned $117.7 million in North America and $226.3 million globally, not adjusted for inflation.
01:07Megan 2.0 is set two years after the AI doll went on a murder spree to protect her young human charge and was subsequently shelved.
01:14Her creator, the aunt of the young girl, played by Allison Williams, is now a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of AI.
01:21But when another AI creature emerges that is even more dangerous, Megan is resurrected and mayhem ensues.
01:28Amelia's stronger than you can imagine.
01:30And she's coming after anyone who can stop her.
