China is the final territory for Fast 6, which will cross the $500 million mark at the international box office on Sunday, pushing the film's worldwide total to an estimated $740.8 million. That includes a domestic total of $237.6 million.

Fast 6, directed by Justin Lin, opens in China only days after Universal's Despicable Me 2 was denied entry into that country.

The Fast & Furious series has earned north of $2.3 billion globally, making it the biggest franchise in Universal's 101-year history.
