The latest edition to the Fast and Furious series has surpassed the $1 billion milestone at the global box office after a very successful opening month.
The Fate of the Furious has hit the $1 billion mark over the weekend, bringing its total to about $1.06 billion. It is only the second film in the franchise to pass that milestone, its predecessor Furious 7 being the other to do so. According to Box Office Mojo, this makes Fate the 21st highest-grossing movie of all time worldwide, unadjusted for inflation, surpassing 2016's biggest film, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

Of the 30 $1 Billion grossing films, four are held by Universal titles. Only two movies have hit the mark this year, with the first being Disney's live-action remake Beauty and the Beast.
The Fate of the Furious is the eighth title in the fast-paced action series which released on April 14 and, according to IGN's review, kicks right into high gear.
