Furious 7: Film Destroys Box Office Records With US$143.6 Million Debut, #ForPaul

If only Paul was here to see this.

“Furious 7” raced to the top of the domestic box office, picking up a massive US$143.6 million in its opening weekend.

That establishes a new high-water mark for the month of April, blowing past the US$95 million debut of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” as well as marks the highest grossing kick-off for any film in the “Fast and Furious” franchise. It also ranks 9th among the top 10 openings in history.

Furious 7

Audiences flocked to see star Paul Walker in one of his final roles. The actor died in a 2013 car crash at the age of 40 and his work on the film was completed by using digital technology and a series of stand-ins.

BoxOffice.com vice president and chief analyst Phil Contrino said of the high octane 7th “Fast & Furious” instalment:

This is a bittersweet installment in the franchise. Paul Walker’s passing made this movie more intriguing for people who hadn’t seen some of the installments. It raised awareness and its success is a tribute to him.

Universal Pictures spared no expense in bringing the latest chapter in the fast cars and gravity-defying-stunts series to the big screen, shelling out US$190 million on the production.

Even if it meant having to engage the late Paul Walker’s brothers to stand-in for the actor and utilising CG in post-production to “fill in the blanks” for the film.

It unspooled in 4,003 North American theatres, earning US$14 million on 365 Imax screens and US$11.5 million from premium large format screens. Going into the weekend, most analysts estimated that the film would open in the US$115 million range.

Foreign numbers have yet to be released, but they promise to be steroidal. Internationally, the film rolled out across 10,500 screens in 63 territories.
