The seventh entry in the 'Fast and Furious' franchise took the weekend in a major way, with reigning number one in the box office an estimated $143.6 million domestic and $384 million worldwide.

The action film also topples last week's heavy hitter 'Home,' which now sits at second with $27.4 million.

'Furious 7' has broke records this weekend with it's smashing success.

"This number is about 50 percent more than the last Furious film's $97.4 million debut, and is the first film in the franchise to break the $100 million mark in the first weekend. It's also a little less than what the first Fast and Furious made throughout its entire domestic run back in 2001-and 'a little less' really means a little less: That one grossed $144.5 million in 19 weeks. This one grossed $143.6 million in three days," writes EW.

The franchise's linear incline of success is surprising as most movie series hit a snag after the original's premiere.

"It just had the ninth biggest opening weekend, right behind Spider-Man 3's $151.1 million 2007 debut. And it's the first film to have a $100 million-plus debut in April, according to Rentrak-beating out Captain America: The Winter Soldier, which previously held the April record with its $95 million opening in 2014," writes EW.

While the movie promised an even grander and action-packed film than the last, many fans of the late Paul Walker may have attended opening weekend to witness the actor's final performance.
