Furious 7 Holds on to First, Age of Ultron Over $200 Million

Posted on April 27, 2015 by Brett

In its fourth week at the box-office, Furious 7 remained in first place on the domestic chart, earning an estimated $18.3 million. The film has earned $320.5 million domestically.

Overseas is the real story though. Furious 7 is only the third film to earn over $1 billion overseas, and currently has earned $1.001 billion. When you combine its domestic and international totals, the film has earned $1.32 billion. It is now the top grossing film ever in China.

The film currently sits in fifth in worldwide grosses and will absolutely get to fourth. There’s a chance it dethrones the first Avengers film which earned $1.5 billion.

To do that, the movie will have to have some impressive legs (wheels?) and still perform when Avengers: Age of Ultron opens this coming weekend domestically. That film has already opened in some overseas markets and has earned $201.2 million. Disney has said that’s 44 percent better than the first Avengers film and 24 percent better than Iron Man 3. Internationally, the film still has yet to open in Span, Mexico, and China.

In other comic related movie news, Kingsman: The Secret Service added $550,000 to its total. The film has earned a solid $126.5 million domestically, and $273.2 in foreign markets. Its total is $399,635,000 as of now. The film’s budget was $81 million, so that’s a pretty solid return for the film.

Three weeks in a row Furious 7 has held the top spot at the box-office. The film earned an estimated $29.1 million this past weekend bringing the film’s domestic gross to $294.4 million. The film has earned $1.15 billion so far world wide. That puts it in seventh in all-time earnings right now, and that’s just after three weeks. There’s a good chance it’ll move into fourth by the time the movie’s run is over, putting it behind the first Avengers film. The movie has two weeks until Avengers: Age of Ultron comes out and momentum is drained.

In other openings, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 came in second earning $24 million domestically. Unfriended was third with $16 million. Monkey Kingdom was seventh earning $4.7 million. True Story debuted in eleventh with $1.9 million, and Child 44 was in seventeenth earning $600,00.

In comic movie news, Kingsman: The Secret Service came in sixteenth earning an estimated $650,000. The film has earned $125.6 million domestically and worldwide the film has earned $396.4 million. It’ll likely cross the $400 million mark by the time its run is over.

Globally the film has already earned over $800.5 million. In two weeks, the film is already the highest grossing film in the franchise. The film is in serious contention to become the one of the highest grossing films ever, and projections currently having it earn about $1.3 billion placing fifth.

Internationally the film $68.6 million in its opening day in China, which is a record in that country. That’s close to what the last film earned in its entire run in the country.

Kingsman: The Secret Service continues to do well earning another $1.325 million to bring its domestic total to $124.5 million. Globally the film has earned $392 million. It will likely cross the $400 million mark.

When it comes to comic adaptations, Kingsman: The Secret Service was in eighth place bringing in an additional $1.7 million domestically. Globally, the film has earned $369.8 million so far. It will likely get to $400 million by the time it’s done.
