Avengers: Endgame has become the biggest movie of all-time at the box office but it was only finishing atop the charts at the box office worldwide for three consecutive weeks. Spider-Man: Far From Home and Captain Marvel managed a similar feat. Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw has managed to stay atop the worldwide charts for four weeks now, the first movie of the year to achieve such a feat.

Avengers: Endgame made $2.79 billion worldwide in its theatrical run. Hobbs & Shaw has hauled in $687 million worldwide.

Based on the success of Hobbs & Shaw, it seems likely that more spinoffs and sequels in the Fast & Furious world will be on the way. Executive producer Hiram Garcia opened up about the possibility ahead of the film’s release.

“Well, look, I mean the fans are always the ones who decide that. And if there’s anything this business has taught you is you never get ahead of yourself,” Garcia cautioned. “But if we’re so lucky and the fans receive it the way we think they will, that’s the goal. Look, there’s so many unbelievable characters in the Fast & Furious universe, but there’s only so much time in a Fast & Furious movie to get to know each of these characters. So our goal is to start to create an outlet where we can spin off these characters, let fans learn about the ones they love, and keep building it out. So if we’re lucky, this could be the beginning of something nice.”

Hobbs & Shaw is now playing in theaters.
