Weekend Box Office: THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS Has Record Worldwide Opening
The Fate of the Furious opened domestically last weekend with just over $100 million to dominate the box office. Though the opening is $47 million less than Furious 7, the news for the the eighth installment of the franchise is much better when factoring in the international take. The film debuted in 63 markets and took in $532.5 million, a record for worldwide release, topping the $529 million of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
