Fast & Furious Franchise Surges Past James Bond at Box Office
The latest installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, Fast X, has propelled the series to a major box office milestone, putting it just behind the James Bond franchise in total earnings With a new film every few years since its 2001 debut, Fast X marks the beginning of the end for Vin Diesel's character, Dom Toretto, and his family Catch the action in theaters now
Deadline has reported that the recent release of Fast X has propelled the Fast & Furious franchise to surpass a significant box office accomplishment. The series has now accumulated over $7 billion in global box office earnings, placing it just behind the James Bond franchise, which has reached approximately $7.8 billion in worldwide gross. Fast & Furious has now become the fifth highest-earning film franchise of all time. This achievement comes after the franchise has released a new movie every few years since the debut of The Fast and the Furious in 2001. Fast X marks the beginning of the end for Vin Diesel's character, Dom Toretto, and his ever-growing family.
How Much Will Fast X Earn At The Box Office?
Despite not performing as well as its predecessor F9 at the domestic box office, Fast X still managed to rake in a considerable $319 million worldwide during its opening weekend, with $67 million coming from domestic viewers. As of now, the movie has grossed a whopping $348 million worldwide.
Given the strong opening weekend numbers, it is highly likely that Fast X will continue to perform well throughout its theatrical run. With significant contributions from major characters such as Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), the film marks the first entry in the final story of Dom and his family. As the franchise comes to a close, fans eager to see how it all ends may drive up box office numbers even further.
Fast X's success hinges on its ability to generate high box office numbers, as the film was produced with a staggering budget of $340 million. However, with a promising opening weekend, it appears that Fast X will likely emerge as a box-office hit by the time its theatrical release concludes. Furthermore, with plans for Fast X sequels already in motion, it is feasible that the Fast & Furious franchise may soon surpass James Bond's No. 4 spot as one of the highest-grossing movie franchises of all time.
