$200M+ from China, $126M in US for Fast & Furious 9
Fast & Furious 9 has now grossed over $500 million (roughly Rs. 3,726 crores) at the worldwide box office, making it the first Hollywood movie to surpass that milestone during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Previously, only three films Demon Slayer: Mugen Train from Japan, and China s Hi, Mom and Detective Chinatown 3 all from Asia, have made more than $500 million at the box office as the theatrical world reels from the coronavirus spread. F9 has proven to be the box office saviour that Hollywood has been looking for (sorry, Tenet)
