Universal's Furious 7 has broken records with a staggering $60million earnings in just two days of opening.
According
to reports by THR, the movie continues to build momentum at the Friday
box office for a weekend debut in the $135 million-$138 million range,
the largest opening in North America since fall 2013.
The flick featuring late Paul Walker's
final participation, is opening around the globe this weekend - after
earning a record-breaking $60 million internationally on Wednesday and
Thursday - for a possible worldwide debut approaching or crossing $300
million by the end of Easter Sunday.
Getting the
widest release in Universal's history, Furious 7 played domestically in
4,003 theaters on Good Friday, while it has booked more than 10,500
screens in 63 territories internationally- although it won't open in
China, Japan and Russia until later.
The report
further stated that Furious 7 is likewise poised to nab the biggest
opening of 2015 to date because it will easily beat the $121.9 million
launch of The Hunger Games Mockingjay — Part 1 in November 2104, making
it the largest three-day opening since The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
($158 million) in November 2013.
