FAST & FURIOUS 7 has become the fifth All Time Blockbuster in India from Hollywood. The film is on course for a first week total of 67-68 crore nett which would make it the highest grosser ever in India from Hollywood.

The first All Time Blockbuster from Hollywood was JURASSIC PARK released in 1994. It was released on 125 screens across India in English and Hindi and grossed around 6.75 crore nett. It was the first film from Hollywood to see such a wide release. 21 years later FAST & FURIOUS 7 has come on 2000 screens

The next All Time Blockbuster was TITANIC in 1998 which was released on just 7 screens on release and was not dubbed but still emerged the second highest grosser of that year after KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI. Then in 2007 came SPIDER-MAN 3 followed by 2012 in 2009 which became the first Hollywood film to cross the 50 crore nett benchmark. The 100 crore nett benchmark is a possibility for FAST & FURIOUS 7 though barring 2012 the big Hollywood openers don't have legs whereas the likes of LIFE OF PI, GRAVITY and INCEPTION continue to go on forever. Still 30 odd crore needed after week one is not a big ask.
