There is no way it does 1.1B OS like the last one. Maybe something around 600-700M OS. China will be big but the drop in Europe is gonna be brutal. Fast 7 was ridiculous big in Europe. In Portugal it did the equivalent of 830M DOM lmao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You know even at 600m ww, they will continue to produce these so it s there for a very long run IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all loved Paul Walker as well. Brick Mansions did 30M (!) there. In America it barely passed the 20M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMan7 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 TBH I really don't think the death of an actor would affect the BO overseas though just like how critic reviews doesn't mean squat to the OS audiences as they still flock to critically panned movies like TF.

The death of Paul Walker affected Fast 7 a lot. There is a 0% chance Fast 7 would have done nearly as much as it did if Paul Walker was alive. People flock to what they like, they don't care about those so called critics that know nothing. I still think Paramount should do a final Terminator movie and kill Arnold after the movie is filmed.

KP1025 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The jump from FF6 to F7 in China was partly due to Paul Walker (ton of buzz surrounding his tragedy when the movie came out) in addition to it being marketed as the finale to the series. It grossed nearly 6x what FF6 did just 2 years prior, which is much more than can be accounted for by simple market expansion. Hard to say what Fast 8 will make in China since it will likely have much less hype. Sequels in China rarely gross less than their predecessor (only MJ2 comes to mind right now), but F7 was such a perfect storm of factors that it could happen. Taking FF6's gross and adjusting it for 4 years of market expansion will probably be the floor for Fast 8's potential gross in China.

Wouldn't be surprised at a China decrease either, but it's China so who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silly humans waiting for an actor to die to watch his last movie when it should be the other way around and support their movies while they are alive. Who knew soo much people actually cared about Walker until after he died? Edited February 3, 2016 by DMan7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am expecting around 110-115M OW DOM and a 240M DOM total (basically the same as Fast 6). But it is really too soon to make predictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
