Yeah, the opening are quite good, but legs will be awful, especially in China.

Yes, i know. I'm saying it had a chance if legs matched the good opening weekend.

 

Anyway, Spidey will probably win the year without problems. Curious what will be #2, 3

True. Eternals, i could see being #2. Black Widow is a hybrid release and i feel buzz has kinda died down. We shall see.

Underperforming in China and apparently WOM is poor

Given how reliant the franchise is on China, I wouldn't say it's a very good result. And the WOM seems more like bad than average.

SATURDAY UPDATE, Refresh for latest…: With just eight markets in release, Universal’s F9 has propelled the Fast & Furious franchise across the $6B mark globally. The Justin Lin-helmed actioner has an estimated international box office cume of $127M through Saturday, and is eyeing a weekend total of $160M+.

 

In China, F9 has grossed RMB 680M ($105M) through Saturday, already the biggest Hollywood opening of the pandemic. It is on track to become the 2nd biggest opening for Universal and the Fast Franchise in the market behind The Fate Of The Furious.

 

In Korea, F9 has a strong $7.7M through Saturday and is on track for the top studio opening weekend of the pandemic.

 

Russia’s cume through today is estimated at $6.4M, also on track for the biggest opening weekend of the pandemic.

This franchise is a true head scratcher to me 😂

 

but each to their own lol. Glad it’s getting bums in seats in the cinemas 

[WittyUsername]

So far these overseas numbers seem pretty good.

Yeah, glad to see it's getting people off the couch...but I don't get it. The same people who hate on Michael Bay and Zack Snyder for making "dumb action movies" also fawn all over this franchise, all of them made with less talent than either of those directors.

The F&F aren't "great" but they're better than any recent Bay or Snyder flicks from the last ten years...and they don't divide audiences.

Looks like it will scrape by $200M in China thanks to the nice ERs. For this franchise I’d say that’s an extremely poor result. Guessing 500ish OS, 650ish WW

Justin Lin (and James Wan too) is a very talented action director lol.

The only film I liked is the one which have tank on road. I don't know which one that was. Didn't like F7, ending was well done though. The only other film  I watched is Hobbs and Shaw, frankly speaking, I didn't even try liking it, but it was probably ok with quips.

 

I don't understand how can anyone watch Vin Diesel and be like, yeah he is a Hero. ffs guy can't speak properly for saving his life. Rock is much much better.

 

Anyhow, I am not sure if these films have any good episodic storyline going, I didn't really find that in F7 and H&S. Shaw was villain and then he wasn't. Like...

 

Now when you are making sequels just for sake of adding numbers behind the title, the farce will start falling. 

[Legion Again]

Fast Five is the only one I really liked, but then again I’ve probably only seen 3 or 4 and they all kind of blend together.

[charlie Jatinder]

@Barnack this probably need $800M to breakeven right? Considering the delays and 30%+ box office comes from China where studios get like 20% of the gross after taxes.

Probably won't watch this until I get vaccinated (I was going to before but seems not worth it anymore). Likely won't watch it in cinemas at all if something more interesting comes out by the time I get vaccinated (maybe Green Knight at the end of next month). Hoping this opens below $50 mil dom just so it releases earlier on PVOD and I don't have to wait over a month to watch this lol.

After 20 years and what, 15 hours of this franchise, that tank-on-the-road sequence in number 6 is still the only thing I can remember from any of these movies.
