After dominating the worldwide box office for two weeks, the “Fast and Furious” spin-off has fallen to second place behind Quentin Tarantino’s latest, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, which grossed $61.3 million across the globe. While the iconic American filmmaker’s ninth opus (starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie) was met with a mixed reception in his homeland, he still has pulled in other markets.
