Furious 7 Now Projected For $115 Million Opening Weekend

The film, which will star and pay homage to the late Paul Walker, will be the biggest opening of the franchise, and the first Furious film to earn more than $100 million in its opening frame if that turns out to be true.

Furious 6 made $97 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend.

Furious 7 picks up threads from The Fast & the Furious: Tokyo Drift, which made just $63 million at the U.S. box office and opened at $23 million, the lowest for the series of each.
