F9 zooms past $US500M mark

The ninth movie in the Fast and Furious series, F9, has crossed the $US500 million mark at the worldwide box office according to Box Office Mojo.

This would make it the first Hollywood film since the pandemic began to do so.

In the US, the film has grossed $125.90 million.

The film is going to face a huge challenge this week as Marvel Studios’ Black Widow hits theatres in many countries on July 9.

As per estimates, the Scarlett Johansson-led MCU film is tracking for a $90 million opening, which, if comes true, would break F9’s record.

The action movie features a huge cast, including Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell, and Charlize Theron.
