“F9” downshifted dramatically from a furious start in Chinese cinemas a week ago to a more pedestrian $20.5 million second weekend. But that was still good enough to take first place ahead of two significant foreign releases.
The “Fast & Furious” franchise title lost 84% of its pace on its second lap, compared with a blistering opening weekend of $137 million. That gives it a cumulative total of $186 million, according to data from consultancy Artisan Gateway.

Opening its campaign in second place was Japanese animation title “Stand By Me Doraemon 2,” which earned $16.3 million in three days.
