Though “The Fate of the Furious” didn’t break the April domestic opening weekend record set by “Furious 7,” Universal Pictures has still rolled together a huge weekend with the latest installment in their hot rod franchise. With the “Fast & Furious” series wildly popular with international audiences, “Fate” is now sporting global estimates that could see it break the $528.9 million set by “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” in 2015.
Even if it falls a little short of that record, Universal will still blow by another international box office record by a huge margin. Universal estimates that the film will make $432 million overseas this weekend.
