How much did IM3 increase? %?

 

180 with Rth's estimate.

Skyfall, 4 quadrant? You mean kids and families went to see Skyfall in drove?

How else do you explain a Bond movie reaching a billion? Edited May 18, 2013 by lab276

How is The Fast series any more trash than a Pixar film?  They both have the same values.  Family, honour, commitment.  Seriously.  I think calling the series trash is really unfair.  It reeks of elitism.  Sometimes people just want to see a good, fun film.  FF is the definition, the pure definition of fun.  Sorry for being a fun film.

People are so quick to throw around superlatives like amazing... The word lost meaning. That pandering trash i see in the trailer doesn't look amazing to me. Maybe it's false advertising...

 

 

The point he's making is that your opinion is not the be all to end all.  You might think it's trash, but millions of others don't.

What the hell happened to this thread?

It's fun trash. There's a difference.

Probably coz i can't stand ghetto gangsta shit.

Fast Five is the perfect example of a modern Michael Bay movie done correctly.  It has humor, over the top action, and lots of hot chicks.  The difference is Fast Five has a story and characters.

STID collapsed and turned out stinking like chlamydia while IM3 as the phoenix was reborn after its weekly hybernation...

Mister obvious.

[Hatebox]

There is absolutely no way I'm not going to think F&F isn't trash, but that doesn't mean I think less of it. I'd probabaly enjoy it more than most superhero films.

[baumer]

We really don't know how much it did.

[Elessar]

 

Wow, i made it into a meme. I'm proud of myself.

I quite liked the first Fast and Furious, but i hated the 2nd, skipped the 3rd, fell asleep during the 4th and turned the 5th off after 10 minutes to watch something else.

 

 

But I can see how some people like the franchise.

[Krissykins]

At least the films keep Michelle Rodriguez off the crystal meth.

Trash doesn't get franchise high 250m total for a franchise. Fast 6 will have a loud box office.

Trash certainly can. 

 

Are you familiar with Transformers?

[Krissykins]

Or the Pirates of the Caribbean sequels?

[fishstick]

I know OS ≠ DOM, but Fast 6 already looks like it's over performing whereas ST2 wasn't. I think it bodes well for it.

 

Trek`s fucked next week on all fronts. Fucked.
