If the international box office numbers are any indication, the movie industry will be in for a bounce-back summer. The latest edition of the Fast and Furious series, Fast 9, released overseas bringing in $162.4 million across places like China, Russia, and more.
The new film passed up Godzilla vs. Kong for opening worldwide numbers. That clash of the monster titans did $121 million.
“It shows us that audiences are willing to come back when the right movie is available,” says Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, Universal’s president of international distribution.
