It didn't have much competition: Fate of the Furious held on for second place in its fourth weekend in theaters, earning $8.5 million and ringing the $200 million bell ($207.1 million) in North America.
Granted, it's a little early to be dwelling on such thoughts, considering that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is still playing in theaters across the globe - and making a pretty penny for Marvel in the process. A third movie has already been confirmed and will probably hit in 2020.
The lighthearted space romp "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2" had a massive opening weekend, according to industry estimates Sunday, selling some $145 million tickets in the United States and Canada after last week s equally impressive foreign debut.
Fair warning, the following story will contain spoilers for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Just like all Marvel movies, Guardians was released in Europe a week before its domestic debut, and it pulled in more than $282 million for its troubles.

A Ducks win would square the series, while the Oilers could take a 3-1 lead if they can bounce back from Sunday's home defeat. Neal scored unassisted to give the Predators a 2-0 lead at 13:03 on a wrist shot from above the right faceoff circle.

Elsewhere in the United States top ten, Fast and Furious 8 crossed the $200 million mark domestically and is now racing towards a global total of $1.2 billion. Looking to settle a score with Quill themselves, the Ravengers led by Yondu (Michael Rooker) accept the bounty on the Guardians and track down two of them, Rocket (voice of Bradley Cooper) and Baby Groot (voice of Vin Diesel). Considering that the first film made a total of $333 million domestically over the course of twenty-five weeks, it should have no problem surpassing the first film's numbers.
"The first thing I do in the morning is roll over in bed and check my phone for the morning box office reports". The eighth installment in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise has pulled in 207.1 million US dollars to date in North America.
