'Fast X' aims bigger at Box Office, eyeing $60 million opening in North America, $280 million globally

Universal's highly anticipated, "Fast X," is preparing to dominate the global box office. Projections indicate that the film is set to make a powerful debut with a minimum of $60 million in North America and at least $220 million in international markets. These estimates suggest that "Fast X" is aiming to achieve a remarkable worldwide opening weekend gross of $280 million.

Regarding the domestic box office forecast, the anticipated $60 million start for "Fast X" falls short of the most recent installment, "F9: The Fast Saga," which opened with $70 million and eventually accumulated $173 million during its theatrical run in North America. It's important to note that these numbers were achieved during a time of COVID-related restrictions when only 80% of theatres were operational, and overall attendance had not fully recovered.

In comparison to previous "Fast" films before the pandemic, such as "The Fate of the Furious" in 2017 with a $98 million debut, "Furious 7" in 2015 setting a series record of $148 million opening, and "Fast and Furious 6" in 2013 with a $97 million debut, "Fast X" falls considerably behind.
