expectations were high for the film's performance in china, as its predecessor set notable records and went on to become the biggest film release there (now the biggest hollywood release). the film was rebranded in chinese as "the fast and the furious 8" to make clear its connection to "furious 7". after ticket sales began on april 2, the film pre-sold more than rmb 125 million ($18.1 million) worth of tickets before its release, breaking the previous record held by local film "" three months prior. moreover, it also set a record for the fastest imax advance sales, with rmb 16.5 million ($2.4 million), breaking the previous record held by "", according to leading local movie site mtime. in total, it pre-sold around $43.5 million tickets two hours before previews began, the biggest ever in the country. it earned a record-breaking rmb 59.8 million ($8.7 million) from thursday paid previews ($8 million excluding online ticketing surcharges which now count as grosses), breaking its predecessor's former record of rmb 52.5 million ($8.5 million in 2015; $7.6 million in 2017 exchange rates). on friday, the film was screened in approximately 158,000 screens, a new record for any film, breaking "warcraft"'s former 122,000 screen counts, and almost double the estimated 80,700 screen count of its predecessor. by friday noon, it had already grossed $30 million. buoyed by positive word-of-mouth—9.4/10 user rating on mobile ticketing platform maoyan, and 7.4/10 from reviews aggregator douban—and effective marketing campaign, it set a new record for the biggest single-day ever at the chinese box office, including previews. this was achieved at 7 p.m. local time. in total, the film grossed an estimated rmb 452.8 million ($65.8 million) on its opening day, inclusive of previews and online ticketing surcharges, compared to the rmb 398 million ($57.8 million) posted by its predecessor. it is the first film in chinese history to register above rmb 400 million ($58 million) in a single day. earning a total of rmb 1.323 billion ($192.2 million), according to chinese sources and rmb 190 million, according to universal, in its debut weekend, it set a new milestone for three-day opening weekend and overall the second-best debut ever behind only local pic "the mermaid", which had the benefit of four days of previews over the new year period in february 2016. an estimated $14 million came from 395 imax screens, the second-biggest-ever in the country, behind "warcraft". its three-day debut alone made it the biggest hollywood release of 2017 and the third-biggest overall. factoring out online ticketing surcharges, the total comes to a slightly less-hefty rmb 1.245 billion ($182.2 million). in just nine days, the film passed the historic rmb 2 billion ($300 million) and thereby became the biggest release of the year. the film fell precipitously by 71.4% in its second weekend (from its $190 million debut), earning rmb 374 million ($54.3 million) for a massive 10-day total of rmb 2.19 billion ($318 million). on april 30, it became the biggest hollywood/foreign release of all time with rmb 2.44 billion, surpassing its prequels former record of 2.41 billion. however, in terms of us currency, "the fate of the furious" ($381 million) is still behind "furious 7" ($391 million). after three consecutive weeks of topping the charts, it slipped to fourth place after being dethroned by "guardians of the galaxy vol. 2" from the top spot. it has so far grossed a total of rmb 2.671 billion ($392.8 million) and is the country's second-biggest grosser ever, behind only "the mermaid" at the time of its release.
