How they turned things around from Tokyo Drift (to have almost all 8 movies match or surpass Drift's total box office of $62.5M in their opening weekends 8X in a row) is legacy building in itself for the franchise in Hollywood. That would be the equivalent of us saying Shazam 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10th films will all open to $58M+.  Pretty insane when you think about it! That post credit scene in Tokyo Drift really did call on a franchise future nobody expected. What helped is none of the main four's careers really took off so they all came back to the Fast franchise.

 Re: Fast X weekend
Trending downwards as a franchise. How much longer can it cling on?
It is only just under F9, but it's still under. The jury is still out on whether the pandemic helped or hindered the previous movie, so it's hard to tell if this $67.5m is good or bad in relation to the last movie. But the optics don't look good.

 Re: Fast X weekend
It's a clear downturn on the domestic front as the last one would have made more in a non-pandemic market. It's the lowest opening since Fast 3 outside of Hobbes and Shaw. This Fast movie could be the lowest grossing since Fast 4 14 years ago domestic.
Global is the story though and we could get to the point of seeing an under $150M film in this franchise that still clears $750M+ global.

 Re: Fast X weekend
Pretty lame opening for its budget though international is good.

 Re: Fast X weekend
Every other film other than Mermaid could be under $15M by the time Spider-verse hits. Feels like it's going to have a wide open market. Could be the biggest OW of the year?

It ain’t stopping at 12 either.

 Re: Fast X weekend
I think the Fast X OW is OK. Considering how bad F9 was - it was always going to shed some viewers.
That said - they should NOT make 2 more. End it on the next one and make a big deal about it being the FINAL. Could help it get to $200m again.

Asteroid City looks way more visually pleasing than No hard feelings or The Blackening Visually sure but it’ll probably bore the hell out of me. NHF & The Blackening will at least have me LMAO judging by the trailers & reviews.

 Re: Fast X weekend
FastX 5.4M Monday /$72M
F9 made $6.5M but that was last week of June before the July long weekend. Monday was a holiday in Canada. Maybe $85Mish total by Thursday going into the long weekend and $125Mish by end of Monday?
