HOLLYWOOD - It’s lights out and away we go at the box office as “F1,” a big-budget racing drama starring Brad Pitt, impressively revs up the Box Office in its opening week.

With great reviews and a promising “A” grade on CinemaScore exit polls, “F1” landed in the middle of expectations, Variety reported.

“F1” follows Pitt as a retired Formula One driver who is convinced to return to the popular motorsport to coach a slick rookie and save a failing team.

With “F1” in pole position, box office competitors were left in the dust. This week’s other major release, the campy horror sequel “M3GAN 2.0,” fizzled in fourth place.

Elsewhere, holdover titles populated the top of the box office charts. “How to Train Your Dragon” slid to second place after two weekends in the No. 1 spot.
