The end of the Fast road begins at $319 million, and paves the way for a larger take down the line.
Fast X just out came out over the weekend, and it’s already off to an impressive start.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the newest mainline entry in the action series has earned a global total of $318.9 million at time of writing. Because it released in territories like Belgium and and France in the middle of the week on May 17, $251.4 million of the film’s take came from international audiences. Though China ended up as the largest contributor at $78.3 million, the film had a franchise-best take at $7 million for Japan, where it’s apparently known as Wild Speed: Fire Boost. Because of the movie’s international open, Fast X has 2023’s biggest opening (s0 far), and the second biggest of the year behind Super Mario Bros.’ $377 million start back in April.
Domestically, it opened to $67.5 million, which is just barely in line with the $65-75 million range analysts were predicting before release.
