The Fate of the Furious (alternatively known as Fast & Furious 8 and Fast 8, and often stylized as F8) .

The movie, which was internationally released on Friday, pulled in an estimated $532.5 million globally, Universal Pictures announced. Although the official figures don’t come out until Monday morning, “The Fate of the Furious” appears to be on track to best “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” which currently holds the record at $529 million following its 2015 release.

“The Fate of the Furious” raked in $100.2 million inside the U.S. and $432.3 million aboard ― the latter is the most any film has ever made in its international debut weekend. “Jurassic World” held the previous record with $316 million.

That international help was needed, as it appears that the eighth movie in the “Fast and the Furious” franchise was not able to pull in domestically anything close to what "Furious 7" did in the U.S during its opening weekend two years ago.

The Fate of the Furious is a 2017 American action film directed by F. Gary Gray and written by Chris Morgan. It is the eighth installment in The Fast and the Furious franchise. ..... The film was rebranded in Chinese as The Fast and the Furious 8 to make clear its connection to Furious 7. After ticket sales began on April 2,

The Fate of the Furious was premiered on April 4, 2017 in  Berlin, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 14, 2017, playing in  3D, IMAX 3D and  4 DX internationally.
