“Ford v Ferrari” enticed a mostly older male crowd: Men accounted for 62% of ticket buyers, while nearly 80% were over the age of 25. Audiences awarded the film with a rare A+ CinemaScore, a sign that the racing drama should have a long life in theaters. Produced by Chernin Entertainment, the movie carries a $100 million price tag and will need a boost from international moviegoers to turn a profit. “Ford v Ferrari” launched with $21 million at the foreign box office this weekend, lifting its global tally to $52.4 million.

Can't wait to see it. It's like Top Gear: The Movie.

...and will need a boost from international moviegoers to turn a profit.

I wonder how well this will play overseas..

Americans will love it but Europeans have a grudging respect for the U.S., but not much admiration. My father always said that the Europeans never forgave us for having to bail them out in two world wars.

It might play better in Asia.

This movie does not put Ford in a good light imo. So maybe the Europeans will like the film for that aspect alone.

There are far more non-US votes on Imdb, and the rating is a point higher.
