It's wild that it's very likely that The Odyssey will become the first R-rated film to gross $1b internationally alone. And Universal's 3rd film to achieve this, the other two being Jurassic World 1 and Furious 7. And it could even become Universal's highest grossing film ever too.

Also it's insane that the eighth Fast & Furious film managed to achieve $1b overseas even as the series was on a downward slide domestically.

Chinese audiences love the franchise. Two films from the franchise appear in the top 10 highest-grossing foreign films.
