This gives the movie a total gross of $117.1 Million after 2 weeks of release, it is on tract to join the other recent Fast movies but because of the pandemic might not get to the heights of the top grossing in the series Fast and Furious 8.
Top new movie of the weekend is the sequel movie to Boss Baby from 2017 which takes $17.3 Million on its debut.
The original movie was a big blockbuster and took $50 Million on its debut on its way to $175 Million, comparisons are currently unfair during the pandemic.
The fifth movie in The Purge series makes its debut at number 3 this weekend with $12.7 Million which is close to the debut weekend of The FIrst Purge from 2019, not bad considering the pandemic.
The movie series has become a firm favourite and the future of the movie could be good in the coming weeks.

The movie has been on the box office for 6 weeks now and has taken $144 Million, it is currently the top movie of the year but is getting challenged by Fast and Furious 9 and will get another competitor this weekend with Black Widow.
Dropping to number 5 this weekend is the sequel movie which takes $3 Million on its 3rd weekend of release, a 38% drop over last weekend, for a $31 Million US total.
With cinemas really starting to show a return to normal we get the best opening weekend of the 'pandemic' era as Fast and Furious 9 shows that a year of delays hasn't hurt its box office potential.
The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard falls to number 3 this weekend and with such a big blockbuster hitting the top no studios released new movies in competition so F9 is the only new movie on the top 10.
