“Fast & Furious 10” sets a record and breaks the gigantic sound barrier: only “Harry Potter” succeeded before

Than thanks to “Fast and Furious 10In 2023, Universal became the first movie studio ever to gross a billion dollars at the US box office alone. Of course, it’s not just the merit of the automotive action movie starring Vin Diesel, but all the titles released by Universal this year (most notably The Super Mario Bros. Movie).

But the tenth installment of the “Fast & Furious” series raised the necessary dollars to break the sound barrier – not only as the first studio this year for Disney, Warner and Co., but also in late May, earlier in the year than Universal has ever done. done.

7 billion for a franchise – with only 11 movies!

But that’s not the only sound barrier now broken thanks to “Fast & Furious 10”. With the final earnings of the tenth film, it’s the turn as the fifth franchise ever to exceed $7 billion at the global box office. That’s how much the ten ‘Fast & Furious’ films and the spin-off ‘Hobbs & Shaw’ have taken together.

The special thing about it: Only one other franchise has succeeded before, with only eleven films reach: The “Wizarding World Of Harry Potter”. So far, $9.66 billion has been raised.

The most successful film franchises in the world to date

1. The MCU ($29.44 billion with 32 movies)
2. Star Wars ($10.32 billion with 12 movies)
3. Wizarding World Of Harry Potter ($9.66 billion with 11 movies)
4. James Bond ($7.84 billion with 27 movies)
5. Fast & Furious ($7.03 billion with 11 movies)

“Fast and Furious 10‘ is currently playing in cinemas and has yet to make a lot of money. The question is whether it will be enough in the franchise ranking to overtake the “James Bond” series, as the tenth part has so far underperformed its predecessors. But with the “Fast & Furious 11” announced, the appearance will be ready, as it should appear before the next 007 adventure.
