Dwayne Johnson: Vin Diesel and Pictures Release

dwayne johnson: The Universal Pictures release also throttled past 1 billion globally, and passed its predecessor, Furious 7, to become the highest-grossing imported film in China with 361 million, according to Brandon Sun. The Fast and the Furious franchise, the latest of which is helmed by F. Gary Gray, has always been held up as a model of the diverse blockbuster, given its cast led by Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. As expected, it was another runaway weekend for The Fate of the Furious, which took No. 1 for the third straight week with 19.4 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. But the smaller films that trailed it over the weekend also reflected the box-office might of often underserved audiences. The film is easily the biggest success yet for Pantelion, the Latino-oriented joint venture of Lionsgate and Grupo Televisa. In second domestically with 12 million and drawing an overwhelmingly Hispanic crowd was Eugenio Derbez's comedy, How to Be a Latin Lover. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
