Furious 7 Projected For $110 Million Plus Opening Weekend

Analyst are predicting that Furious 7 will set a franchise record in its opening weekend. They believe the film could open between $110 million and $115 million in North America, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Even if the film hits the low end of expectations it will be the best opening weekend for any film in Universal’s popular street-racing series. The current champ in the franchise is 2013 Fast & Furious 6, which debuted with 97.4M in its opening weekend. It went on to gross a total of $788.7 million worldwide.

Also of note, Furious 7 will more than likely become the record-holder for the best April opening weekend, which currently belongs to last year’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which raked in $95M.

Continuing the global exploits in the unstoppable franchise built on speed, Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of Fast & Furious 7. James Wan directs this chapter of the hugely successful series that also welcomes back favorites Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Elsa Pataky and Lucas Black. They are joined by international action stars new to the franchise including Jason Statham, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, Ronda Rousey and Kurt Russell. The film was written by Chris Morgan.

Furious 7 races into theaters April 3, 2015.
