Amazing. Had no idea the franchise was this strong still: http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/16/media/fate-of-the-furious-box-office/index.html
"The Fate of the Furious" crossed the finish line on Sunday as the biggest global opening in movie history.
The eighth film in the popular "Fast and Furious" franchise raced to an estimated $532.5 million box office opening around the world this weekend, according to its studio Universal Pictures.
That total beats the global record held by Disney (DIS)'s "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which made $529 million worldwide its opening weekend in 2015.
