The eighth Fast and Furious movie is officially a billionaire.

After taking into account Saturday night’s grosses, Universal’s “Fate of the Furious” has achieved the $1 billion milestone. $867.6 million of the film’s earnings have come from the international box office, while domestically the high-octane actioner has made $192.7 million.

“Fate” shot out the gate to the largest global opening of all time with $542 million ($443.2 million international, and $98.8 million domestic). Directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Chris Morgan, the film’s insane stunts and diverse ensemble cast — including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges, Scott Eastwood and Charlize Theron — has proven big box office success for the studio. In fact, of the four other movies from Universal to become billionaires, “Furious 7” sits in second place with $1.52 billion.

"...largest global opening of all time..."? Wow!

Mighty impressive.

That's a lot of money.

I still haven't watched it yet. However, the trailer makes it seem dumb. I might give it a chance now.

Oh it's definitely dumb. But it's an elevated, calculated sort of dumb

OT: I wish they had called it quits with 7, but when each intallment makes $1 billion I guess there's no reason to stop.

I wonder if this will become like the James Bond franchise where they'll keep making them even after the actors are gone.

Damn this isn't ending anytime soon

Vin Diesel will be 70 and they'll still be making them!

Broke The Force Awakens' record too. Good.

say what you want, but is there another movie franchise with so much longevity and success?

This movid is really popular out of the US.
