Fast & Furious 8 did very good business over its extended five days racking up around 47.50 crore nett. If we take the three day weekend its is the second highest opening ever for a Hollywood release in India behind Fast & Furious 7. The film is a HIT and possibly SUPER HIT depending on how the weekdays hold but there is a negative which is that it has not matched the last film as far as the initial goes. That film had a four day weekend and if we take like for like be it three or four days the collections remain 4-5 crore nett less.
The collections in most markets across the world (China was an insane $190 million) have set records for the franchise but that has not happened in India. Even the extended 4 days plus paid previews has fallen a little short of the four day weekend of Fast & Furious 7. The collections of Fast & Furious 8 till date are as follows.
Wednesday (Paid Previews) - 5,50,00,000
Thursday - 9,25,00,000
Friday - 11,25,00,000
Saturday - 10,00,00,000
Sunday - 11,50,00,000
TOTAL - 47,50,00,000 apprx
Note - The film has been released as Fast & Furious 8 in India that why it is being reported with that title despite it being called Fate Of the Furious outside India. The title is probably there in India to make sure the franchise factor is noticed by the audience.
