Interest in seeing Walker in his last movie undoubtedly contributed to its box office success. Universal is said to be planning three more installments. The animated flick _Home_ came in at No. 2 during its second week in theaters, earning $27.4 million. And the comedy _Get Hard,_ starring Kevin Hart and Will Ferrell, took third place with $12.9 million. \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-furious-7-scores-786433 "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3771638/furious-7-box-office/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3771638/furious-7-box-office/"},"headline":"Furious 7 Races to Front of Box Office Pack With $143.6 Million","datePublished":"2015-04-05T17:09:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T05:42:37.325Z","description":"Universal is said to be planning three more installments","url":"https://time.com/3771638/furious-7-box-office/","keywords":["movies","Box-office"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt375f79c1e00c9c73/698786bfa988ca6b436ad3d2/fast-furious-7.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Justin Worland","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/justin-worland/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt375f79c1e00c9c73/698786bfa988ca6b436ad3d2/fast-furious-7.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"From left: Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Paul Walker, Ludacris in Furious 7, 2015.","caption":"From left: Tyrese Gibson, Jordana Brewster, Paul Walker, Ludacris in Furious 7, 2015.","creditText":"Scott Garfield—Universal Pictures","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3771638/furious-7-box-office/","name":"Furious 7 Races to Front of Box Office Pack With $143.6 Million"}}]}] ```
