“Furious 7″ left all its competitors in the dust with a scorching global debut of $384 million.
The
latest installment in the “Fast and Furious” franchise kicked off in 63
international markets, as well as the U.S. and Canada. It marked
Universal Pictures’ biggest wide release ever, unspooling in 14,009
theaters around the world, including Imax and large format locations.
It
ranks as the fourth highest-grossing global opening in history behind
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” ($483.2 million), “Harry Potter
and the Half Blood Prince” ($394.4 million) and “The Avengers ($392.5
million).
The
opening breakdown was $143.6 million stateside bow and a $240.4 million
international kick-off. It’s a particularly impressive international
figure, because “Furious 7″ has yet to open in such major markets at
Russia, Japan and China.
Analysts Sunday told Variety that they expect “Furious 7″ will become the first chapter in the series to hit $1 billion.
“Why stop at a billion,” quipped Nick Carpou, Universal’s president of domestic distribution.
