Furious 7 Weekend Numbers: Revised Official Estimate - 146.5M (Sunday underestimated) | Official OS Estimate - 240.4M

[baumer]

You admitted you havent seen many of his movies. You cant judge him off 1 movie/series. You need to see Pacifier, Saving Private Ryan, and XXX. If youre not willingly to see them then you cant really say that. His Fast persona is not the same in those movies. He even had a little charm in Babylon AD was one of the few things good about the movie.

 

I thought he was awesome, truly awesome in Knockaround Guys.

 

I just love me some Diesel.

[Jandrew]

No one *needs* to see PACIFIER.

They do if they want to doubt Vin's charisma. And if they like ducks.

No one *needs* to see PACIFIER.

 

It was his Arnold "Kindergarten Cop" phase...although KC was leagues above... 

[La Binoche]

Is 15m good for this? 

 

And is Vin Diesel still in the closet? 

[Robertron]

Vin just flied and a tank just capsized and whatever. Fast 6, man. It will always be the craziest one. 

 

Any numbers yet? I am so pumped right now. 50M OD minimum.

I think we can safely say 55m.

I thought Fish was banned ages ago.

Its amazing ever since Previews era its the 5th best result

 

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part II (11/16/12) - $30.4 million

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (11/21/13) - $25.3 million

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part I (11/21/14) - $17 million

Iron Man 3 (8PM, 5/2/13) - $15.6 million

 

 

 

Look at this way it sold more tickets then IM3 (however it made 174 million on the weekend)

I thought he was just being funny.  

 

Is it a real question?

[#ED]

15M!?

 

That's insane.

 

Let me get my Preview - OD Calculator out...

 

That's over 50M today...

And could go higher.

No, I haven't seen the first 4 Fast films. I've seen his last 3 FFs, Saving Private Ryan, and a couple of voice roles. I think I'm allowed to have an opinion on him.

He has that annoying grumbling mumbling voice where you can't tell what he's saying but you know you want him to stop. He speaks in a monotone voice with no sincerity or emotion. He's a genuinely awful screen presence and actor.

[baumer]

If this does say 17 mill for previews, then it will be quite a shock.  15 is already a shock, but 18 would just be like WOW!

Yep, you are entitled to your opinion. But to say that you find it astonishing that people find him charismatic is going to open you up to people defending him.

I think it's safe to say you're an outlier on that one, treeroy. I don't think he's a great actor, but he's good in his selected range and he's got nice charisma on-screen.

Apparently not anymore.

Its hard because out of all those films what can you compare to? 

 

 

Using Im3 you get 66 million

CF you get 42 million

 

(also lol just remember Im3 increased from 53 million from Fridays non previews to 62 million Saturday Woh!) 

 

 

I see 55 million

Fast Five is the only film I've seen Vin in (excluding GotG and TIG) And I didn't think he was oozing charisma, but he was one of the better aspects of the movie.

Diesel might not a great actor or even a really good one, but he's an awesome action hero.

[baumer]

Vin's a capable actor.

As I said when Vin talks about family in Fast Five and Six the audiences just love that stuff, 

 

 

 

Seems odd but it separates and is part of the appeal from other action franchises.
