Fast & Furious 7 | 1165.6m overseas | 1518.6m Worldwide | Crosses $1.5 Billion Worldwide / 3m from passing The Avengers WW total!

[POTUS 2020]

I wonder how close FF7 will get to The Avengers WW total by the end of it's run?:

Dropped only 55% OS against TA2s OW. Often a mild drop occurs the following weekend. Should have legs to get close. being that it is a sentimental break out hit. That does sound high for just M-T. Assuming its correct or perhaps there is some Wed numbers in there, I still see this much more

was there a Thursday WW update?

 

Looks like china holiday will bump it nice. 50m+ from Tuesday  to the close for china

 

It will be interesting to see if it can make it to 3rd, only to be passed by TA2 a few day later. or it drops back to 5th then reclaims 4th

 

OS weekend in total will end up being an amazing hold. China may be down just 20% and Japan even tighter for a total of 30m~.  The rest of OS may hold well too with the post big opener recovery. down just 30-40% after holding a solid -55% during TA1s OW.

[Lordmandeep]

Only issue is it collapsed domestically.

Only issue is it collapsed domestically. 

 

It'll recover next weekend with a near 30% drop.

Still another 70m should not be a problem.

china number seem way too high. Normally studio tend to under report china but for Furious 7 its way too high.

Universal is trying to fudge it to cross TA1 ww, its Mon- Tue OS numbers were also higher than the previous week.

This is height of fudging for sure :-)

what they say for china? 52m/1098m sounds right

FURIOUS 7 is the #1 film of all time in China having grossed $381.8M in 22 days of release. Yowzers.

 

 over-reported by $12m

$381.8M in 22 days of release. Yowzers.

or

$369.7M

We get daily updates from the China box office thread. There is 0 chance that the $382M number is correct. 

[POTUS 2020]

europes post TA2 OW hold was tremendous. Looks like 1500m is happening and TA2 will fall short.

Congrats FF7!!

[MattW]

Seemed high to me as well. So is China the only number they're fudging or are there others? True ww total is 12m less, 1417m?

[Superme]

They have it at $370.21m instead of yesterday's 381

[PDC1987]

It was a mistake in reporting, not fudging. You can't fudge an extra $100 million in total, that accusation is ridiculous. Universal also doesn't fudge numbers, there's not a single example of them reporting a "fishy* figure like Paramount or Disney routinely do.
