April 11, 2017 David Gonzalez Reel Talk Inc Comments Off on The Fate of the Furious Sets Chinese Ticket Presale Record

While Universal’s The Fate of the Furious doesn’t open in China until Friday, the highly anticipated eighth installment is already setting records overseas.

As of Tuesday, the film has earned $18.1 million in advanced ticket revenue in China, ahead of Journey to the West: The Demons Strike Back, a local blockbuster produced by Stephen Chow, which took in $101 million in pre-sale ticket purchases.

The Fate of the Furious has also hit a new all-time high for advanced IMAX sales in China, pulling in $2.4 million unseating prior record-holder, Disney and Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War, which took in approximately $10 million in I-MAX presales last year.
