Ludacris’ ‘Fast & Furious 9’ Thrives At Theaters

F9 has broken the weekend box office record since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis. The movie brought in north of $70 million at over 4,000 theaters across North America, with the second most being $48.3 million from A Quiet Place Part 2.

Variety’s Rebecca Rubin reported that the latest installment of Universal’s “Fast & Furious” franchise brought in $70 million from 4,179 North American theaters, unseating the $48.3 million record set by Paramount’s “A Quiet Place Part II.” “I think what feels best is just the idea that people are returning to the theatrical experience,” Diesel told me at the CTAOP event. “It feels good to say, ‘Cinema is back!’”

Luda also went to his Instagram page to geek out over the massive box office success. Cris shared a snapshot of the movie’s $70 million opening weekend.
