Which I guess that's enough for Part 2 to happen? Who knows? Funny because meanwhile they didn't announce it as a two parts story Pirates 6 was set up in the post-credits and could have an opportunity at getting some audience back by being the actual legacy sequel to At the World's End and well we know what happened...not the same as what would be if Fast X Part 2 gets cancelled but still.

That makes it very likely he won't be caught in some gross scandal...I hope. 4 2 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filmscholar Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 "Hobbs and Shaw" and "Fast 9" both did over 700 WW so that should be the floor for "Fast X". I want to be more optimistic but it seems they may have spent to much budget wise on "Fast X". When I saw that 340 number I figured it was for Fast X part 1 and 2 but when I saw it was just for part 1 I was like What? I'm sorry but that's damn near 400 Million when only Two Fast Films even crossed a Billion. It's a huge franchise no doubt but that's a lot to break even. They should probably scale the budget down for Fast X part 2. Also If this comes under "John Wick 4" that would be surprising for me. "John Wick 4" is R-rated, this is PG13 and a way bigger fanbase domestically and internationally. But in the end overseas may saved the day. They always do gangbusters internationally. But Summer Box office is definitely back in full effect for the first time in years it feels like. We've got some heavy hitters dropping every week for the next 8 weeks. Let's see who rises to the top. Lastly, I wasn't too hot on "GOTG 3" opening but it has surprised me with these holds domestically. It is catching up to "Thor 4" and surpassed "AM3" so that's much better than when it started. Let's see how it holds against "Fast X". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in 2016 Vin Diesel came to Brazil and did a very uncomfortable interview with a lady about a movie and said a lot of times how she was sexy etc and she clearly didn’t know how to react She was highly attacked by his fans when she said it was a sexist interaction and how bad she felt. I vaguely remember he said something very obtuse a few days later like “sorry if you’re offended”. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadOlCatSylvester Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 My showing ended an hour ago, and honestly... I fucking loved it. Massive improvement over F9 and a step in the right direction for me. It doesn't live up to the incredible 5-7 run, but I'm very pleased with it. I'm honestly excited now to see what comes next. Every showing in my local mall theater where I went to see the movie was packed as all hell in a way not seen in my country since No Way Home. I'm honestly wondering if it can break the opening weekend admission record for the franchise and reach the 1M admit mark in its three day opening. Let's see what happens on Monday. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I said, Definitely over "Hobbs and Shaw" and "F9". So I was hoping for more like 80-85 Million. Somewhere around I guess "Fast 5" would have been nice. That shouldn't have been that hard right? I guess it's much more competition this time around domestically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAJK Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Seriously, can we all just leave the Depp/Heard shit ALONE, or at least in whatever hellhole of the thread it belongs in? I spent that entire trial dealing with staff wanting to make HR complaints because "their coworkers weren't on team Depp" or "their coworkers weren't on team Heard". It's a court case, that NONE of us have all the facts to, so why don't we all just let it go instead of bringing it up again and again as though any of us are experts on the matter? Jeez. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same with any off-topic discussion in threads; it gets shut down, rightfully so, even though users aren't forced to interact with it. I'm not a mod of course, but it seems to me like the same standard should be applied, before we get users coming in here wanting to throw their two cents in about the trial. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 The Fast franchise had a hell of a run. And it had one of those weird trajectories where it didn't peak until around the 7th movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
