,” the 10th installment in Universal’s high-octane franchise, is revving up to lead global box office charts. The movie is projected to open to $60 million or more in North America and at least $220 million at the international box office. Based on those estimates, “Fast X” is looking to capture $280 million worldwide in its first weekend of release.
In terms of domestic box office projections, a soft start around $60 million is below the latest entry, 2021’s “F9: The Fast Saga,” which kicked off to $70 million and ended its theatrical run with $173 million in North America. And that was at a time when COVID era restrictions meant only 80% of theaters were open and attendance hadn’t yet rebounded.
Though the “Fast” saga has experienced diminishing returns in the U.S. and Canada, the big-screen homage to hulking men and speedy cars has remained hugely popular at the international box office. With each installment, overseas ticket sales have accounted for a bigger piece of the pie as “F9” and 2019’s spinoff “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw” each hit $550 million overseas, and 2017’s “Fate of the Furious” cleared the coveted $1 billion mark from foreign territories alone.
Directed by Louis Leterrier, “Fast X” follows Vin Diesel’s street racer Dom Toretto and crew as they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced. Jason Momoa plays the film’s antagonist Dante Reyes, the son of a drug lord who is seeking revenge for the loss of his family’s fortune from a prior heist in Rio de Janeiro.
