F9 has already made nearly $300 million internationally; it rolled out in China and a few other territories a few weeks ago.
And while that’s down slightly from what we would normally expect from the franchise, under the circumstances, it’s a perfectly respectable take.
Most studios would sell a family member for a movie to do that well.
It still has several more nations where it needs to open, but with the movie tracking ahead of Hobbs & Shaw, we could be looking at F9 grossing $800 million or more worldwide when it’s all said and done.
