F9 aka Fast & Furious 9 has finally arrived in the United States. And as expected, the film is off to a best post-pandemic start. The ninth instalment led by Vin Diesel and John Cena is set for a great box office run and the signs are clearly visible through paid preview collection.
Paid previews for the film were held on 24th June i.e. Thursday. Looking at all the buzz, it was said to take a good start, but what’s exciting is that Fast & Furious 9 has surpassed the numbers of Hobbs & Shaw, a spin-off to the franchise.
As reported by Variety, F9 has collected $7.1 million on Thursday. It surpassed Hobbs & Shaw’s $5.8 million. Looking at such a response, trade experts are now expecting the film to earn between $60 to $70 million, which was earlier restricted to $60 million at most. Interestingly, after beating in previews, the film is also eyeing the $60 million weekend of Dwayne Johnson-led spin-off.
