    "Furious 7" has become the highest grossing film ever at the Chinese box office, having already taken approximately $333 million.

    The third-highest grossing film in the country's history is James Cameron's directorial "Avatar" (2010), which earned $219 million.
     
    In "Furious 7", directed by James Wan, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) seeks vengeance on Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his gang for the death of Shaw's brother.
     
    The cast of the latest automobile saga includes Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Kurt Russell, Ludacris, Tyrese Gibson and late Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013.
