Furious 7's $384M Is 4th Highest Global Box Office Opening Weekend Ever

Universal Pictures' Furious 7 raced out to a fast and furious at the global box office with $384M.

Furious 7's $384M is the fourth best opening weekend at the worldwide box office. That puts it just above 2011's Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($382.4M) and just behind the 2012 Marvel film The Avengers ($392.5). The global box office opening weekend champ is 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 with $483.2M.

The seventh film in the series opened in 63 markets overseas and has already grossed $240.4M. Mexico ($20.8M), United Kingdom/Ireland ($19M) and Germany ($15.2M) are the international markets that are giving the film the most boost. It still hasn't opened in three major markets: Russia, Japan and China.

Stateside, the film pulled in $143.6M, which set the highest April debut ever.

Furious 7 is on pace to become the first film in the Fast and Furious series to crack the billion dollar mark. Congrats!
