There seems to be plenty of torque left in the Fast and the Furious franchise, as the latest installment, The Fate of the Furious is continuing to stack some big box office returns.
Fate of the Furious already had the biggest global box office opening weekend ever, and now reports are in that the film has officially sped past the half a billion mark at the worldwide box office, thanks in part to a very impressive haul on Monday.
Deadline reports that Fate grabbed another $8 million in domestic earnings on Monday, the second-highest-earning earnings for an April film. It's domestic total now stands at $107.3 million, with a whopping $500 million in additional earnings, overseas.
Fate of the Furious continues to outpace Star Wars: The Force Awakens in terms of the earnings speed; by this time in that film's release, domestic earnings were $98.78 million and worldwide earnings were $529 million.
SYNOPSIS: Now that Dom and Letty are on their honeymoon and Brian and Mia have retired from the game-and the rest of the crew has been exonerated-the globetrotting team has found a semblance of a normal life. But when a mysterious woman seduces Dom into the world of crime he can't seem to escape and a betrayal of those closest to him, they will face trials that will test them as never before. From the shores of Cuba and the streets of New York City to the icy plains off the arctic Barents Sea, the elite force will crisscross the globe to stop an anarchist from unleashing chaos on the world's stage... and to bring home the man who made them a family.
