Fast and Furious is a family franchise.

They mention family a lot if that's what you mean!

The zero female appeal likely won't hurt it, many films are male skewing and that doesn't hurt their grosses like Fast and Furious or any superhero film. 

 

 

CBMs haven't lacked female appeal by and large for well over a decade, or the ones that have are doing something very wrong. 

 

The Fast franchise definitely doesn't lack female appeal either. BOM reported an even gender split for F7's OW and 42% female for F8. Male driven action films can have female appeal. It's geeky looking male lead sci-fi that tends to suffer the most from female appeal, which is RPO's problem. John Carter and Valerian for example failed to capture female interest, playing a big part in both bombing so hard.

If it does under $15-20m OW and fails to get to number 1 or 2, I'd be very surprised. Worse case scenario is in the $30m range OW, I think Box Office Pro's prediction is about right although I think it might be a touch higher.

I never said it would only do 15-20m OW. I do think 30's is likely though.

I want to be excited and this photo isn't the thing stopping me, it's just new, but I just can't be for some reason.

This would have benefited big time from an SB spot. Awareness still feels extremely low for this and they only have a month and a half.

They're likely waiting for Black Panther to be released before kicking off the marketing.

Warner doesn't buy SB spots.

The purple's purdy. I also like the Drew Struzan-esque art

I actually really like this poster. It really nails that old style of posters that made everything seem epic; in fact, this seems like an epic to me. I'm now anticipating this more than I was before.

So there's like zero hype for this, right? Feel kinda confident in saying there's zero hype for this
