Vin Diesel: ‘Cinema is back!’ as ‘F9’ sets pandemic box office record
NY Post
“F9” raced to the box office this weekend — fast becoming the world’s biggest release since movie theaters shut their doors in 2020 amid the COVID-19 lockdown.
Thus comes an official declaration: “Cinema is back!,” the franchise’s lead thespian, Vin Diesel, has announced in an official statement. A delayed theatrical release turned out to be the right move for the “Fast and Furious” sequel, the ninth in the franchise’s 20-year run. Cinema-goers shelled out a record-breaking $70 million at the domestic box office over its opening weekend — topping the short-lived record held by John Krasinski’s “A Quiet Place Part II” which brought in $48.3 million.More Related News
