Fast X's Third Weekend at the Box Office (Weekend Numbers, Long-Term Global Prediction)

This past weekend Fast X took in another $9 million at the box office--not a very impressive take for a would-be blockbuster like this in its third weekend. Given the observed rate of decline from week-to-week (as well as weekend-to-weekend) of about 60 percent I expect the movie to finish at (or even slightly below) the low end of the Boxoffice Pro projections seen before its release, with some $150-$160 million banked domestically. Of course the movie is doing far better abroad, but even should it do as well as any of its predecessors internationally (taking in 82 percent of its gross overseas) it still cannot be expected to reach $900 million--with the possibility of its sputtering out even before the $800 million mark not out of the question.
