JohnnyGossamer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Sitting solidly at 65% RT and 60 MC... Can't reasonably ask for much more from a Fast flick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Man, not enough F8 talk here, folks. It's opening in NA in less than 9 hours! It's gonna open to at least $100M+ DOM... Where's the hype here? OW DOM prediction from me... $111M. Wanna say higher but just can't at the moment. Though, with Good Friday tomorrow, I could see with potentially getting $120M+ OW DOM.

Seems rather natural that the buzz for this one is significantly more muted when the last movie would've been a good way to end the series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More so surprised it's muted here at Box Office Theory, especially given $110M+ OW DOM seems the floor and it's a holiday weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot know for sure, but let just say I was not surprise at all that one of the 2 end up being the villain in marketing and that they were fighting each other in the trailers. Johnson is pretty much up there has the best in the business in social media marketing and selling. It was maybe not just made up for publicity, but the fact that it was compatible with the movie marketing narrative probably played on why he did it.

So it's had staying power even. Not saying that it can't be real since there are already stories about Vin being a diva or a jerk out there. 2 minutes ago, filmlover said: Dwayne has a better acting range than Vin so he wins. oh I'm definitely on the Rock's side of this one, if it is real 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkKnightOfSteel Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) The word "hate" doesn't even begging to describe my feelings for this movie.I guess you can go and watch it if you are a fan of the franchise but ultinately is by far the worst experience i had in a theater in the past year(and i was unlucky enough to catch Passengers on cinemas as well) so i definetly would not recommend it to anyone (maybe to the guy that kicked my dog for no reason the other night).Diesel is probably the worst actor ever,the old cast is doing absolutely nothing to even get you a tiny bit interested for any of the characters and the new cast is totally wasted.Dumb plot(but i expected that),dialogues that sound that were written by a grown-ass man stuck in his childhood and action sequences we have seen a million times over(even within this franchise).And it's not like this film tries to do anything new.It sets a story that you think will be the foundations of new story arcs but the film ultimately goes to explored territory and becomes the soulless and bombastic drama Universal is shoving down our throats ever since Fast 4 (seriously you can rent and play any previous film in the franchise and it will be like you watched it.Not only you will save money but you will also save yourself from the headache that follows after hearing countless car explotions that apparently the directors thinks is "filmmaking".)There is seriously nothing i liked about it.
