Fast & Furious 9 has become the first Hollywood movie to gross over $700 million (about Rs. 5,197 crores) at the box office worldwide since the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic began. The last one to do so was Jumanji: The Next Level, released in December 2019. Global box office was impacted starting in March 2020 — and it has not truly recovered since. While F9 reached theatres when things were slightly better, cinemas are in a state of flux again in the US, with Hollywood studios delaying titles or considering their options. Fast & Furious 9 has yet to hit India — it's due September 3 in cinemas, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada.

Good luck to its India box office prospects though. delaying the film over and over, to escape other films (The Suicide Squad on August 5, and BellBottom on August 19). Funnily, it hasn't worked out.

On September 3, Fast & Furious 9 will go up against Netflix.

As for F9's $700-million haul, the biggest markets for the film are China ($203.9 million), the US ($172.6 million), Mexico ($26 million), Japan ($25 million), UK ($22.6 million), ($20.7 million), South Korea ($19.3 million), Russia ($18 million), ($16.3 million), Australia ($15.5 million), Brazil ($13.6 million) and Spain ($11 million). Fast & Furious 9 is the first Hobbs & Shaw — the first Fast & Furious spin-off. Thanks to F9, The Fast Saga now stands at an overall combined box office worth $6.59 billion (about Rs. 48,932 crores).

The next chapter, Fast & Furious 10, is due April 7, 2023 in cinemas worldwide.

It's a John Cena double-header this week on Orbital, the Gadgets 360 podcast, as we discuss The Suicide Squad, and later, Fast & Furious 9 (from 28:03). Orbital is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music and wherever you get your podcasts.
