F9, the latest movie in the Fast & Furious series, has scored the biggest opening weekend at the US box office since the end of 2019. The movie made $70 million in its first three days on release.
Not only is this by far biggest domestic opening weekend of the pandemic era, it's the highest since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker was released in December 2019. As Box Office Mojo notes, F9 managed to exceed the $60 million opening weekend of the previous film in the series--2018's spin-off Hobbs and Shaw--with only 80% of the country's theaters open. The previous highest opening weekend gross of the last 18 months was A Quiet Place: Part II in May, which made $47.5 million.
F9 opened in some international territories last month and has so far $404.8 million worldwide. The movie was originally set for release in May 2020--at the time, it was one of the first movies to be shifted back an entire year to 2021, as opposed to just being moved forward a few months.
