But the movie ran out of gas domestically weeks ago.
Universal’s Fast X had an unusually quick turnaround to digital , when it landed on PVOD platforms just three weeks after its theatrical debut. But that was merely a speed bump in its race toward a big box office haul. And after just under 40 days in theaters, the 10th film in the long-running action-adventure franchise has now passed the $700 million mark at the global box office — likely its final major milestone.
While the movie managed to gross only an underwhelming $144 million domestically — it won’t be able to hit $150 million by the end of its run — it made up for it in international markets, where it has generated a little under $560 million. The film’s running global haul currently stands at $703 million. Alongside Jurassic World Dominion, Fast X became one of the rare post-pandemic Hollywood films to not only secure a release in China, but also do rather well there.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fast X, which pits Dominic Toretto and his "family" against a formidable new adversary played by Jason Momoa, is currently the third-biggest film of the year so far on the global box office chart, behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 .
More worryingly, Fast X is the most expensive movie in the franchise, setting Universal back by a reported $340 million . The budget for the movie is said to have ballooned because of pandemic-related safety protocols, the massive salaries of its stacked cast, and an unexpected crisis that unfolded days into filming, when original director Justin Lin dropped out due to creative differences.
