Where can I see the new F1 film?

For Dublin viewers, the main options run through ODEON — the chain has dedicated F1 pages with showtimes and direct ticket booking. As of March 2026, CinemaTimes Ireland also aggregates listings that include F1 showings in the city on specific dates.

  • Odeon Cinemas.ie — Book tickets directly at ODEON Cinemas (official cinema chain)
  • ODEON Point Square — Listed for F1 via Entertainment.ie
  • ODEON Blanchardstown — IMAX option in Dublin (ODEON Cinemas)
  • Cineworld Dublin — Parnell Centre location has 17 screens but no specific F1 showtimes confirmed (Cineworld)
  • Arc Cinema Navan — Check local listings for County Meath

Major Dublin cinemas include ODEON, Cineworld, Omniplex, Vue, and Lighthouse, according to Lighthouse Cinema. F1 showtimes in Dublin are primarily available via ODEON and CinemaTimes as of recent search data.

The catch

Not every chain lists F1. Vue Dublin had no current showings matching the F1 request as of late April 2026, according to Vue Cinemas’ own listings.

How to book your tickets step by step

  1. Check the official ODEON F1 page for your preferred date and location (Point Square or Blanchardstown)
  2. Use CinemaTimes Ireland to compare showtimes across multiple Dublin cinemas on specific dates
  3. For Cineworld, call 0818 304 204 or book online — parking at Parnell Centre has 500 spaces, prebook via parkrite.ie
  4. Arrive early for IMAX screenings — these tend to draw larger crowds
  5. If driving, note free parking at Vue Liffey Valley or paid options at Cineworld’s Parnell Centre car park

The pattern across Dublin venues is straightforward: ODEON leads with active F1 listings, while other major chains either show no F1 or have general listings without specific showtimes confirmed.

Bottom line: Brad Pitt’s F1 is primarily showing at ODEON locations in Dublin as of early 2026. Other major chains like Vue show no F1 listings, so booking through ODEON directly is the most reliable path to tickets.

F1 film showtimes Dublin?

Dublin-specific showtime data is limited but instructive. As of early March 2026, F1 was still listed in Dublin cinemas on Thursday, March 5. Other venues tell a different story — Lighthouse Cinema’s listings up to April 2026 show no F1, Omniplex Rathmines was running Project Hail Mary on April 22 with no F1 in sight, and Vue Dublin’s schedule had no matching showings.

  • Vue Liffey Valley — 14 screens, seating over 2500, free parking; no F1 showings noted (Vue Cinemas)
  • Dundrum options — Check ODEON Point Square which is listed for F1 via Entertainment.ie
  • Sky Cinema — Not confirmed as a Dublin F1 venue

If you’re hunting for showings beyond ODEON, the pickings are slim. Vue updates its screening schedule every Tuesday for the following week, so checking closer to your intended date may yield results. For Omniplex Rathmines, ticket prices start from €9.95 for most screenings.

Why this matters

Vue Dublin’s 14 screens and 2500-seat capacity make it one of the city’s largest venues — yet F1 isn’t currently on its roster. That gap tells you where the film’s theatrical run stands in Dublin right now.

Vue Liffey Valley specifics

  • Vue Dublin phone for bookings: +353 1 513 4571
  • Screening schedule updates every Tuesday
  • Autism-friendly screenings at 10:30am last Sunday monthly
  • Subtitled films weekly and audio description screenings available

The trade-off is clear: Vue offers accessibility features and size, but ODEON is where F1 currently lives on Dublin screens.

Bottom line: Vue Dublin has the capacity but not the F1 booking as of April 2026, leaving ODEON as the main game in town for Brad Pitt’s racing film.

When can you watch the F1 movie at home for free?

Home viewing hasn’t landed yet for free, but the trajectory is clear from how the industry typically works. After a theatrical run, films usually migrate to premium streaming platforms first before hitting free services. For F1, the signs point to Prime Video and Apple TV as the initial post-theatrical homes.

  • Prime Video — Amazon’s platform typically acquires films for paid rental or purchase before subscription libraries
  • Apple TV — Apple has been aggressive with theatrical releases; F1 fits their recent buying patterns

A “free” release on either platform would mean the film joining the subscription library at no extra charge — a scenario that typically happens months after initial paid digital availability.

Prime Video UK specifics

The typical window for major studio releases to appear on Prime Video as part of a paid rental or purchase option first is 45-90 days after theatrical. A free subscription inclusion typically follows 6-12 months later, though exact timing varies by deal.

The implication: Brad Pitt fans in Ireland waiting for a free home viewing of F1 should prepare for a wait measured in months after any paid digital release.

Is the new F1 movie out on Netflix?

Netflix does not currently list F1 as an available title, and no announcement suggests an imminent addition to the platform. Apple TV+ remains the more likely destination for Apple-financed releases, while Prime Video handles Amazon’s acquisitions.

The pattern: Netflix focuses on original content and selective licensed titles, while F1 appears aligned with Apple and Amazon’s theatrical-to-streaming pipelines.

Bottom line: Brad Pitt’s F1 is not on Netflix as of early 2026. Prime Video and Apple TV are the platforms to watch for eventual home viewing.

Is F1 a hit or flop movie?

Exact box office performance remains contested in available sources, with neither definitive hit nor flop confirmation from tier-2 sources checked. The theatrical run’s longevity — evidenced by Dublin listings as recent as March 2026 — suggests moderate commercial staying power rather than a quick theatrical exit.

The catch: Without confirmed box office figures from verified sources, any hit-or-flop determination remains speculative. The IMAX format and Brad Pitt star power suggest studio expectations were high.
