The Fate of the Furious has now crossed the $900 million mark worldwide and currently stands at $908.4 million. From that it has made $745 million overseas and this means it is the highest grossing movie at the 2017 foreign box office. A significant amount of this foreign box office total comes from China, where it has made a whopping $319 million alone. Fast 8 also surpassed Transformers: Age of Extinction to become the second highest grossing imported film in Chinese box office history just after Furious 7. It is expected to reach the $400 million mark there in the Middle Kingdom. 

Domestically, the eighth film of the franchise made $38.7 million after having a drop of 60.8% from last week's $98.8 million. Its domestic total currently stands at $163.6 million. It is expected to finish around the $220 million mark. That and its projected foreign overall total will mean The Fate of the Furious will finish around $1.1-1.2 billion globally. 

Meanwhile, Disney's Beauty and the Beast just opened in Japan this weekend where it made $12.8 million and it is expected to bring in over $100 million from Japan alone. Its overall foreign total currently stands at $629.2 million. Domestically, Beauty and the Beast stands at a massive total of $471.1 million and is expected to reach the $500 million mark sometime before the end of May. It is projected to finish with a global total of $1.2-1.3 billion.

Fate of The Furious was great especially the last thirty minutes. Hope the next two can go even bigger!

I gotta say... this has been a really good [frick]ing year for movies so far. I was kinda worried after last year (and even the year before to a lesser extent), where it was just one disappointment after another. But I'm really happy with how things have turned out so far.
