Online Edition
UNIVERSAL'S "The Fate of the Furious" smashed global box office records with an estimated US$532.5 million, setting a new high-water mark for an opening weekend.
The eighth film in the "Fast and Furious" franchise revved up and hit the gas with a debut weekend of US$100.2 million in North America and US$432.2 million overseas. If estimates hold, this is the third biggest April debut of all time in North America, according to record books kept by comScore's Paul Dergarabedian.
Global appeal is truly at the heart of the success of this franchise and this eighth installment is no exception. Thanks to an all-time best China launch of US$192 million, the film, directed by F. Gary Gray, broke the record worldwide launch of Disney's "Star Wars: the Force Awakens" which nabbed US$529 million in 2015.
With the latest release, "Fast and Furious" films have collectively grossed more than US$3.9 billion globally. Universal has already announced a ninth and tenth installment for 2019 and 2021.
DreamWorks Animation and Fox's "The Boss Baby" was a distant second place, bringing in an estimated US$15.5 million to push its gross to US$116.3 million in North America.
Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" landed in third place with an estimated US$13.6 million. The film crossed the US$1 billion mark in worldwide sales.
Sony Corp.'s "Smurfs: The Lost Village" landed in fourth place with an estimated US$6.5 million. Warner Bros.' "Going in Style" finished fifth with an estimated US$6.35 million in its second weekend.
