So much for any puns about spinning out.

Universal's gas-guzzling action spinoff, “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” debuted in theaters this weekend to about $60.8 million in domestic ticket sales, easily taking first position as it opened in a period of summer where it is likely to encounter little rival competition.

The movie stars Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham as an American operative and an English gun-for-hire, roles that became increasingly prominent in the ensembles of the last two “Fast and Furious” movies.

“Hobbs & Shaw” made even more money internationally: It brought in an additional $120 million overseas, according to the studio. Combined, that makes for a worldwide weekend take of $180.8 million.

That’s a solid opening with plenty of room for growth. “The Fate of the Furious,” which is the most recent movie in the main series, opened to about $100 million domestically in 2017. Those figures didn’t make for great news at the time — that release was the first time in years that a movie in the franchise had opened to slower domestic ticket sales than its predecessor.
