After an opening day where it bested its predecessor F9, Fast X falls behind at the domestic box office by the end of its opening weekend.
Fast X has slumped slightly at the box office toward the end of its opening weekend. The film is the tenth entry in the long-running franchise which began with the 2001 action-crime movie The Fast and the Furious.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Per Deadline, the Fast X box office hit the brakes toward the end of its opening weekend. Despite an opening day that grossed higher than the previous film F9: The Fast Saga, it couldn't sustain that lead and fell slightly behind, eventually closing the weekend with a domestic gross of $67 million. This is $3 million behind F9's domestic opening of $70 million back in 2021.
How Fast X's Box Office Compares To The Rest Of The Franchise This opening weekend places Fast X squarely in the middle of the franchise. At the very least, it maintains the new era of the series' record of continuing to gross higher than the first three films . It also grossed a higher opening weekend than the Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham spinoff Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
This means that its total domestic run will probably end up squarely in the middle as well. There is precedent for films that opened lower in the franchise to earn a slight boost as time goes by, like Hobbs & Shaw which ended up being the fifth highest-grossing film in the franchise despite a seventh-place opening weekend. However, even if Fast X eventually rises over F9 in the long run, it doesn't seem likely that it will end up much higher than that film's No.
While Fast X isn't turning out a great performance in the U.S., it is still poised to close the weekend with $320 million at the global box office. This number is what will inject fuel in the franchise's tank and allow it to keep running into the planned Fast & Furious 11 sequel and a potential twelfth and final entry.
