Well "Fast 8" will not have any Paul Walker factor, plus people will get bored of these eventually, plus the fact that Diesel may not want to do another without Walker, plus The Rock might not be back either....If all of these come true, it means that I think it will open to $50m or so and finish with $155m.

Also don't forget that even if this does 1 billion dollars, it'll end up making less profits than 5 and 6, which both pulled.

Well The Rock was never suppose to be in other sequels. Audiences loved him so much that they kept working him into the series. (His role is absolutely pointless in Furious 7, yet he clearly has the best lines outside of Russell)

Also don't forget that even if this does 1 billion dollars, it'll end up making less profits than 5 and 6, which both pulled.

I wonder what they are going to fill Walker's void. He's always been basically the lead of the series. Does Rock get upgraded to co lead, or do they try and bring Lucas into it, or bring someone entirely fresh to the series.

Quit while you're ahead.....?

Yeahm that's bullshit, dude because it is not just gonna make $1 billion, but it will go well beyond that ($1.15-1.2 billion). Even with the delay and the reshoots, it cost no more than $100 million over Fast & Furious 6 (which was $160 million) and yet it will make up to $400 million more worldwide more worldwide and will definitely sell better in home video. And yet you believe it will yield less profit?

I read that with the reshoots and delays, Furious 7 needs to make 750 WW just to break even. I think at one point they were burning almost 4 million a week just in delays (Actor/ crew holds, demolition delays). Something like 85 million more after his death. Then marketing and what not. I believe the shooting budget was at least 200 million too.

6 pulled in 400-600 WW in the green. I'm not saying Furious 7 can't do it, but with the data I have, even making 500 more WW doesn't make it much more a massive hit then the two before.
