FastX races past half-a-billion at the international box office as it arrives on digital.
After an unusually short theatrical window , Universal’s Fast X has passed perhaps its final major milestone at the international box office. The movie has been playing in theaters worldwide for just around three weeks, and as it enters its fourth weekend of release, Universal can now brag that it has accumulated half a billion dollars from overseas territories alone. Combined with an objectively underwhelming $132 million stateside haul, Fast X’s running global total stands at $634 million.
The tenth installment in the long-running action franchise probably doesn’t have much more left in the tank, as it debuted on digital this week — a surprisingly quick turnaround even by post-pandemic standards. This means that Fast X is falling considerably short of the franchise’s most successful entries, and even its direct predecessor — F9: The Fast Saga — which was released at a scarier time during the pandemic.

The Franchise Is on Its Last Lap The Fast & Furious franchise has been on a downward spiral domestically, as can be observed by the declining grosses and lack of interest even on opening weekends. Fast X actually grossed less in its first three days domestically than F9. And once you consider the $500 million-plus global haul that Furious 7 debuted with, it’s clear that the franchise’s glory days are in the rearview mirror.
