American action movie ‘XXX’ hit the theatres in 2002. In the inaugural entry of the ‘XXX’ film series, Vin Diesel takes on the role of Xander Cage, an adrenaline-fueled enthusiast of extreme sports, known for his daring stunts and rebellious nature. However, the movie received immense praise for its action, storyline and casting, thereby ending up doing wonders at the Box Office. 

In 2005, the American action spy film ‘XXX: State of the Union’, alternatively titled ‘XXX2: The Next Level’ and ‘XXX: State of Emergency’ outside of North America, hit the screens. Directed by Lee Tamahori, this movie serves as a sequel to the 2002 film ‘XXX’ and marks the second installment in the ‘XXX’ film series. Produced by Revolution Studios for Columbia Pictures, it continues the thrilling saga set in the world of espionage and high-stakes action.

Later, in 2017, ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage," also known as "XXX: Reactivated’ in certain regions, hit the theatres. Directed by D.J. Caruso and penned by F. Scott Frazier, the movie features Vin Diesel in the lead role alongside a star-studded cast including Donnie Yen, Deepika Padukone, Kris Wu, Ruby Rose, Tony Jaa, Nina Dobrev, Toni Collette, Ariadna Gutiérrez, Hermione Corfield, and Samuel L. Jackson. Serving as the third installment in the XXX film series, this film serves as a sequel to both ‘XXX’ (2002) and ‘XXX: State of the Union’ (2005).

It's important to highlight that upon its release, the trailer for XXX: Return of Xander Cage shattered multiple records. Paramount revealed that the trailer, unveiled by Vin Diesel via a Facebook Live event, reached an impressive milestone by amassing over 100 million views across various platforms within just two days. This achievement stands out, especially considering that the first teaser trailer took an entire week to achieve a similar level of viewership. Undoubtedly, Vin Diesel's considerable influence played a crucial role in accelerating this feat.

Moreover, all three 'XXX' movies performed admirably at the box office. Let's delve into the box office figures.
