Around-the-World Roundup
Furious 7 added $198.7 million overseas this weekend, which includes a stunning $68.8 million on opening day (Sunday) in China.
That's a new single day record in China, and is essentially equal to what the last movie made in its entire run there. It's too early to say exactly what this means in the long run, but it's also hard to imagineFurious 7 earning less than $250 million in the world's second-largest market.
The movie also opened in Russia this weekend, where it set a four-day record with $15.9 million. It's already Universal's highest-grossing movie in 14 smaller territories, and it's set to expand in to Japan (its final market) next weekend.
Through 12 days, Furious 7 has earned a stunning $550.5 million overseas, which is ahead of Fast & Furious 6's $550 million. Including the U.S., the movie has already grossed over $801 million worldwide.
Assuming there's $100 million more in the U.S., $200 million more in China, and $200 million more in the rest of the world, Furious 7 is on track to wind up with around $1.3 billion. That would rank fifth all-time behind Avatar, Titanic, The Avengers and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.
