Furious 7 fourth-biggest film of all time

It's been just under two months since “Furious 7” performed a hand-break turn into cinemas with a mountain of critical acclaim, impressive stunts, and scintillating action set-pieces. Since then the likes of “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” and “Mad Max: Fury Road” have been released, but “Furious 7” continued to make more and more money. So much money in fact that it's now become only the fourth film of all time to pass the $1.5 billion mark at the box office – becoming the fourth highest grossing movie of all time, just behind “The Avengers”, “Titanic”, and “Avatar”.

Currently, “Furious 7” is the highest grossing movie of 2015. But there's still an outside chance that “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” will ultimately surpass it.  So far, “Furious 7” has earned $348 million at the US box office, while it's also brought in a phenomenal $1.152 billion from international markets.

Paul Walker's death (like Heath Ledger's with “The Dark Knight”) evoked sympathy in audiences, who flocked to say goodbye to the actor. The film's promotional campaign also played upon Walker's passing, but did so in a heartfelt fashion that never felt disingenuous.
