The Fate of the Furious (2017)

[quinnmac000]

did the death of that actor 'help' (for lack of a better term) the last one? is that why this one isn't expected to beat it?

It definitely helped stateside but internationally I don't think it did much. This film is expected to do better than 7 especially in China and South America at least that is what all the analyst are saying.

Fate of Furious has already sold $18 million worth of presales tickets. Setting a record for China.

Film is fun. More CGI than ever but it generally looks fine. If you enjoy other Furious films, you'll like this.

It makes the animated sequence in Supercharged look like a Sunday drive int he park, though.

 

[Mad Dog]

Any movie starring the absolutely beautiful Charlize Theron as a villain is worth watching.

Good film, easy to see how they keep making more as they somehow find ways to tie everything together and leave holes to be filled further. Good fun with some great action sequences, and stunning cars!

If you havent already, watch the trailer for Atomic Blonde :drool:

These movies are impossible. They just somehow just keep getting better and better.

Already at $44 million in China, its pacing for 9-11 million for a Thursday night opening which may go up depending on the West Coast attendance. I'm excited to see this tomorrow to give my personal review but I will say this. There are ads everywhere for this from the subway trains to the restrooms of businesses.

Fate of The Furious is already at nearly a billion dollars.

The prison scene and the last 20 minutes were so over the top awesomeness. I loved it so much

 

[cameronw99]

Fun fact: I worked on two other films that used the exact set from the prison scene. Of course they recycle a ton of sets in Atlanta

2017 is shaping up to be a 2015 level box office for Universal. Pretty successful thus far. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/16/fast-and-the-furious-on-road-to-record-global-box-office-debut.html

If F&F remains number one next week, Universal would have had a #1 film 60% of the year so far.

*Confusingly looks at Snow white and the Huntsman*

I think Kristen Stewart negates and Charlize Theron effect

Split, Get Out, Fifty Shades, Boss Baby (They own IP now so they get a cut despite distribution by Fox), and now F&F.

Fifty Shades was never #1.
