Unsurprisingly, The Fate Of The Furious Has Broken A Bunch Of Box Office Records

It should come as no surprise that The Fate of the Furious has already taken a shockingly massive amount of money at the box office. As in, a record breaking amount. $532 million as of yesterday, to be precise.

The figure is just enough to pip Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($529 million) to the title of biggest worldwide box office opening.

It smashed the international opening record meanwhile, with a ludicrous (or is that Ludacris?) $432.3 million dwarfing the $316.7 million managed by Jurassic World, the previous holder. A huge chunk of the figure - $190 million - was from China alone, where F8 had the biggest three-day opening of any film ever screened in the country.

All told, the impressive debut for F8 has contributed to a $4.5 billion total gross for the franchise. Give it a few weeks, and that’ll no doubt be $5 billion. Good job, Dom and co…
