Speaking specifically of China, the film made $8.8 million during the last weekend.
Despite slowing down a bit, Vin Diesel's F9, also known as Fast & Furious 9, continues to increase numbers overseas. On May 19, the film debuted to great acclaim around the world. The Chinese market has made the most significant contribution.
The picture, which stars Vin Diesel, John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, and others, has been playing in theatres for about three weeks. Despite the fact that the picture has garnered mixed reviews from critics, it has made a sizable profit, putting it in the safe zone. According to reports, the film's budget is little over $200 million, and it has so far grossed more than $250 million at the box office.
That's right, you read that correctly. According to Box Office Mojo, F9 has surpassed the $250 million mark, grossing $255.76 million. A whopping $203 million of the total comes from China alone. Now that the Fast and Furious franchise is in a safe zone, it will be interesting to see how much money it makes in the local market (the United States), where it is set to debut on June 25th.
F9 made $8.8 million in China over the weekend, according to reports. According to Variety, the collections in Korea and Russia are $17.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, the franchise's creators teased fans with the video "You Know It's Fast When," which takes them on a nostalgic journey through the Fast & Furious films.
The video features a collection of some incredible action moments from all of the prior films, which transports the viewers back in time before leaving a message that reads, “You Know it’s fast when you have got fast cars and a plan for a crew, a family and a boss against bad guys…”
