“Furious 7,” in addition to being super awesome, is already exhausting movie theater ushers and speeding its way towards a record-breaking opening weekend.
The Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, and of course the late Paul Walker-led film burned serious rubber on its first Friday at the box office, earning $67.3 million during its first 24 hours of release, according to Forbes. This not only puts the film on track to easily speed past its predecessor, “Fast and Furious 6″ ($97 million), it also opens the film up for what could be a $168 million opening weekend, which would only put the film behind “The Avengers,” “Iron Man 3″ and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.”
