'Fast 8' on fastest track to reap China's box office gold

China Daily  

A scene from Fast and Furious 8. It was like a volcanic eruption as The Fate of the Furious, also known Fast 8, raked in an estimated 1.34 billion yuan in three days, Maoyan.com reported, which set a new record for being the fastest film ever to pass the 1 billion yuan mark in China -- the previous record holder was Stephen Chow's Mermaid which grossed more than 1 billion yuan in four days. Fast 8 also surpassed the records including the biggest midnight showing, the biggest opening day gross, the biggest single day gross, the largest three-day opening weekend of all time, as well as the biggest grossing imported foreign film in China for 2017 thus far. The previous opening records holder was Stephen Chow and Tsui Hark's domestic fantasy movie Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, which earned 356 million yuan on its premiere in January this year. The new records are impressive given that Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back opened on Lunar New Year's Day, the second day of a holiday week in China, and midnight previews of Furious 7 were on a Saturday night, while The Fate of the Furious opened on a work day.
