Breaking News: Fast X Set to Release Sooner Than Expected!

According to a recent store listing, the digital release date for Fast X may have been uncovered and it's closer than expected. Directed by Louis Leterrier, the tenth installment in the Fast & Furious franchise features Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto and his family battling Jason Momoa's Dante. The Microsoft store listing suggests that the digital version of the film will be available on June 9, although this has not been officially confirmed by Universal. Preorders for the movie are currently being accepted on the site at the regular price of $24.99, which is noteworthy given that the film only hit theaters on May 19.

How Fast X Has Performed In Theaters

Critics have had mixed feelings about Fast X, praising Jason Momoa's portrayal of the new villain but expressing dissatisfaction with the story. Despite performing well in the international market, the film's domestic box office results have been lackluster, experiencing a significant decline in its second weekend and beyond. As of now, the film has earned over $523.5M worldwide, with $117.8M coming from domestic sales and $405.7M from international markets. While it has the potential to reach the $726.2M total of its predecessor, F9: The Fast Saga, through sustained international success, it is still considered an underwhelming outcome considering its massive production budget of around $340 million due to COVID-19-related factors and the franchise's expanding cast.

The digital release of Fast X shortly after its theatrical debut could potentially harm its box office earnings as some may prefer to watch the movie from the comfort of their own homes. Despite the possibility of waning interest in the Fast & Furious franchise based on its critical and commercial performance, there are still plans for three more films. Vin Diesel has hinted that the main franchise will conclude with two Fast X sequels, while Dwayne Johnson has announced that a solo Hobbs movie is currently in development.
