Omigod, people go to movies for entertainment and escapism! Why can't everyone be like me and judge the value of their worth by the movies they watch?

Ugh, this fuggin' country...

 

[Rishi]

Well played ^

the F&F movies are great entertainment. If you wanna complain, lets talk about Meet the Spartans or something

This flick has has just set the box office benchmark for the summer. Any big budget flick afterwards from now until August that don't break 72 mil their first week, I'm gonna be all, "dude, you let F&F beat you....you suck, potential franchise."

Honestly, people are always shocked when "fun" movies that are sometimes more substance than style hit number one at the box office...we don't always go to the movies to think.

any word on this?

A 20-minute prequel directed by Vin Diesel and focusing on Dom & Letty which also introduced the character Han (Kang), was filmed in the Dominican Republic during the summer of 2008. The prequel is said to establish what happened to these characters after the first film, The Fast and the Furious. This prequel takes where the second film left off, and represents what happened before Tokyo Drift.

Very surprised by opening weekend. I actually never thought how much it would make.

 

[Dark Helmet]

That will more then likely be on the DVD & it will be interesting to see what Dragonball: Evolution makes in the U.S. compared to this

 

[CELTICPRED]

Very surprised by the box office opening.

It'll be featured on the DVD/Blu-Ray

F------ great, that means we will have a new Riddick movie

That was one of the first things that popped into my head once I saw the numbers.

I really hope they get working on the new one soon.

Underrated series imo. I would love to see another Riddick film.

 

[Mutagen]

I just saw it, and it was better than I thought it would be.

I give it an 8.

 

[BigCityBoy]

I saw it yesterday. Better than I expected it to be. The only minor complaint was the ending

Spoiler

with the gang about to break Dom off the prison bus

I thought it was just a little over the top, even for this type of movie. But other than that I enjoyed it.

Lets hope so, that is franchise Vin should really concentrate on IMO, could be a great one. Would love to see another Riddick movie.

 

[Symbiotic]

Bring on the fifth movie. With opening weekend numbers like that, there's no way Universal doesn't want another.

Probably already greenlit.

Incredible opening, I am surprised.

 

[tamron]

Wow, a very impressive OW.

I freaking loved it. Best since the first.

I wonder where a 5th would go storyline wise. Dom in Toyko with Sean? Brian, Mia and maybe Roman as a new crew? Or just the plain Toretto solo flick they floated for a while after the original?
