On his first weekendthe film grossed a whopping $319 millionwhich demonstrates the enormous impact this saga has on the public.
However, despite this great achievement, “Fast and Furious 10” falls short of another film in terms of box office. “Super Mario Bros. The Movie”produced by Nintendo and lighting, earned $375 million in its first few days of release. This success has been very satisfying for both companies and demonstrates the enormous appeal of the characters of Mario and company.

Many of the previous films in the saga already occupy prominent positions in that list, so it would not be surprising if this tenth installment also reaches a huge success.
The Fast and Furious franchise has achieved its success thanks to a combination of factors. First of all, it has managed to maintain its essence over the years.
