Launch of “Fast & Furious” film includes $135 million opening in China
Universal’s “F9” has now earned the highest global opening weekend for a Hollywood film since the start of the pandemic, grossing $162 million from 8 markets this weekend including $135 million in China. That makes the “Fast & Furious” franchise the sixth in box office history to reach $6 billion in lifetime grosses, largely off of a launch in China that came with the most expansive marketing campaign for a “F&F” film ever in the country that yielded the second-highest Chinese opening ever for Universal.
