The Furious added $0.8M on Day 2 in the US, taking its domestic total to $2.1M.
Kenji Tanigaki’s martial arts action thriller registers a soft opening in its first weekend.
| Day 1 | $1.4M |
|---|---|
| Day 2 | $0.8M |
The film is showing a sharp drop on its second day. The $0.8M figure reflects limited audience interest beyond core action and martial arts fans. While the film received positive reviews for its fight choreography and intense action sequences, it has struggled to break out to a wider audience in North America.
Kenji Tanigaki’s reputation as an action director helped generate some pre-release curiosity, but the film appears to be performing mostly with genre enthusiasts. The drop from opening day is significant, which is concerning for its theatrical prospects.
Market-wise, the performance has been relatively better in major cities with strong Asian-American audiences. However, overall occupancy remains low. The film will need stronger word-of-mouth and positive reviews to show any meaningful growth over the weekend.
With a current 0.11x ratio, The Furious is in a difficult position early in its run. A significant improvement over the weekend is needed for it to have any chance of a respectable theatrical performance.
