Friday Box Office: 'Furious 7' Drops 72%, Nabs $18.8M, Crosses $200M

It’s an odd thing to be discussing a 72.2% Friday-to-Friday drop as “good,” but such is the case with Furious 7. The smash sequel earned $18.8 million on its second Friday, down 71% from its whopping $67.4m Friday debut, which included $15.8m in Thursday previews. The film’s Friday-to-Friday drop was slightly higher than the 69% second Friday drop for Fast Five but slightly ahead of the 72.3% Friday drop for Fast & Furious 6 back in 2013. Random chance and all aside, the film’s second Friday was nearly double the $10m second Fridays of the last two installments, and the film soared over the $200m domestic mark on its eighth day, becoming on of fifteen films to do so in that many days or less. Its eight-day $210.7m cume puts it at number nine on said list. Its $18.8m Friday is the 14th biggest “second Friday” (day eight or day ten of wide release) in history, with almost all of the other higher figures coming from prime summer months or holiday-inflated late November/December slots. - Source
