NORMIES REEEEEE

they opened globally in all markets.
TFA (2nd) opened in china one month later.

i worked in a movie theater for a while. The fast/furious movies draw out people who literally never go out in public and this is probably the one movie they see all year. big families of bikers, huge hispanic families. its a big cultural event type thing.

Something like this is kind of unusual and not weekly. But box offices will always be constantly broken at some point because of normal inflation and extras inflation (3D, imax, luxury theaters, shaking seats, etc.)

The only thing wrong with this series is that it's been focusing on 1337 hackerz for the last two movies.

The series was at its peak when they were involved in 'vehicular warfare'.
>>
>>81715065
I'm 29. The first movie came out in 2000. I have watched all of them, but Vin Diesel has slowly gotten more unwatchable as the movie has gone on.

He's only doing these now because no one will watch him in anything else.

He needs to move on from this and stick to XXX. There's hardly a difference in the series anymore.

The Rock and Statham together were the best part.
>>
>>81715378
Fast Five was the best.
>>
>>81715395

Vin Diesel has to be one of the most inexplicable huge box office celebrities. It is hard to even think of a single attribute that he has as either a star or an actor.

>>81715005

why are neets so unable to comprehend art?
>>
>>81715444
Which makes sense. The franchise only got good when they brought in the Rock
>>
>>81715395
Vin Diesel had the studios cut an after credits scene which was supposed to lead into a Jason Statham/Rock spinoff series which pissed Vin off cause F&F is the only thing keeping him relevant
>>
>>81715454

No to both
>>
>>81715005
the rock really steals every scene he's in
>>
>>81715444
His problem is he can't act. An actor that can't act can't carry a movie. That's why Fast and the Furious suffers without Walker. We always had a legitimate actor to carry the ensemble and now we have a bunch of supporting actors that can't cut it.

That's why Vin hates the Rock so much. The Rock is what Vin Diesel tried and failed to be.
>>

He has a good voice. When he doesn't phone it in he can be enjoyable to watch.

paul walker was a shitty actor whom you've only confused for half-way passable because you spent your childhood getting your first erections to the car movie franchise.

That's factually wrong, pretty much anything he is in makes mad money, he has a faithful amount of fans that will buy anything he makes, as long as his movies dont have retarded high budgets (and most of them dont have it) they'll make money, look at Riddick or the new Tripple , Last Witch Hunter (awful movie btw)

it could definitely work, maybe not enough to make good movies but enough to fill the gap in between F&F releases

I mean I would really love a initial d movie that was really toned down, coming-of-age tale set in atmospheric 80's japan and that racing subculture, using the original anime soundtrack in the racing scenes, but that's never going to happen

its like a ritual for me to see it in theater
i was really bored throughout most of the film
the best part of the movie was near the end, when the plane scene happened, the sub attack, and the TWEEST which i saw coming since he talked to their mom

i'd rate this less than the previous film
but i'd say that baby actor was fucking hilarious, if it wasnt CG probably best child actor ive ever seen

Does Fast and the Furious even have any white main characters now that Paul Walker is dead?

Whats the final scene of this POS, does it set up a sequel like the past few?

Nope. Apparently there was a credits stinger filmed featuring Statham and The Rock to set up something but Vin got jealous and cut it.

It is all the same hacker. It's like what Spectre is in the bond universe.
>>

Why do you even care about entering this thread?

Also how does it feels to not have any friends?
>>
>>81715065

its rly this.

they worked hard on diversifying the fuck out of this movie. but it worked in this instance because of its genuine focus on the race scene early on - which a big segment of hispanic and asian culture was focused on, and because wasn't exclusively white- blacks watched, and also whites watched.
>>
>>81716610

>being a good dude

He's a renowned asshole. What you're talking about is people transferring his movie character on to him.
>>
>>81717990

Not if it doesn't open wide.

Disney movies don't set records because, for some reason, they tier their releases instead of going all-out the first weekend like Universal with the last two Fast movies and JW.

>>81715005
is there an actual submarine chase scene?
>>
>>81718715
Actually, Fast & Furious was the one that Universal was going to put straight-to-video, and it deserved it so much as it's the worst in this 8-movie series. Drift was the best after the first one, better than 2 by a mile.
>>
>>81718715

It was released at the peak of the ricer mania and when I went on opening night there was a literal car show in the parking lot. The usual Supras, STis, RX7 and the dozens of civics with coffee can exhausts, cold air intakes and delusions that their cars were fast.

This was before they banned neon underglow in the bylaw, and every fucking car had the glow.

Tokyo drift was made thinking people watch this series for street racing alone. Fast 4+ showed that people wanted a heist movie with hot cars and that the racing was unimportant.
>>
>>81718826
Of course.
>>
>>81718107
>He's a renowned asshole.
prove it, maybe he's being an asshat in the recent year/years due to the whole rock stealing his show faggotry but he's been known as a nerd bro and his fellow co-starts always like to have around, I remember he taught how to play DnD to the whole FF crew and he was a close buddy to the blonde dude that became coal.

It's not exactly hard to work out the Chinese market. They don't speak English. How often do you pay full ticket price to read subtitles for 2 and a half hours? Complex dialogue, innuendo, social norms are all harder to convey across a completely different language.

You know what's easy to convey? Car chases, explosions, goodies vs baddies. Ergo Fast and Furious and Transformers make tons of chinkbux

I tried to watch the last one, I couldn't. It was impossible. I skipped through and watched sequences as long as I could. The Rock rock-bottomed the guy from lock stock and two smoking barrels through a glass table. That ufc girl ronda rousey beat up another girl. Then Riddick got in a crowbar fight with the smoking barrel guy. It was continuously blaringly loud in every second of the movie with things smashing into each other and people yelling and changing gears in cars and going off cliffs. Psuedo-rock/pop anthems playing every second scene at full bast over the sound effects.

It was like being in a car crash where a burger gets jammed into your mouth and the radio gets stuck on pop-rock at max volume and you have to eat the burger to be able to breathe as your car bounces and rolls down a cliff.

If that's true then Avatar would have faced the same resistance. Yet Avatar did 73% of it's total box office in Asia and foreign markets.

TFA did 54%.

I hate it as much as the next guy, however it has elements that audiences love.

Consistent narratives with simple themes such as family are likeable. It also has the advantage of coming off if the widely successful Fast 7 with an already well established universe/franchise.

I don't know much about oversea market trends, but maybe the chinks like cars.

Why did SW open in China month or so after worldwide? It is like torrent heaven there. Of course it did poorly there, everyone saw the movie by the time it arrived in cinemas.
Ok it also has to do with the fact that China maybe has no intrest in SW, but two years ago, TFA was #1 in the world, eaven there people would saw it out of curiosity at least, to see what is the hype all about.

Speaking of FF, I feel the first one had the best atmosphere. The problem with pumping out sequel after sequel is that the characters become quickly distorted and washed out. They really should change up the cast between films so there is some closure to these people.

He's actually not that bad an actor, it's just that his biggest success movies are the ones where he does nothing but action sequences and make frowny faces or where he pokes fun at his action movie star persona.

I hope he does get enough money together to do his Hannibal Barca movie. Shit, make it a trilogy. Hannibal pwning Rome up one side and down the other, the tide starts to turn, Africanus razes Carthage. Make it historically accurate, or at least plausible, and I'd be so there I'd be thee already.

the unwashed masses of every race and nationality love it. It's not just "white people shit" or a Latino/black/Chinese movie, it literally has something for everyone.

I saw the last one at a drive-in in Florida, every redneck, black, and mexican and 40 of their kids and cousins were out there that night. It has mainstream appeal and does big dumb action very well and has people eating up the "muh familia" shit, making it feel deep as well as entertaining. Throw in the tragic real life death of Paul Walker and there you go.

>>81734411
Rogue One starred women and minorites and felt hamfisted.

>>81734388
First of all, by being an original series. Most mainstream movies are based off of previous works where there are established characters. The popular thing to do is the change the genders/races of characters just to make sure you meet the minority quota that movies feel necessary to have. A big complaint you see people say to detractors is "well, why don't you make your own movie?" The Fast and the Furious is almost response to that and I feel that it works.
>>
>>81733615
Exactly this. There's nothing that good about them, the action and special effects are average for modern films.

And real life latinos and chinese people are pleb as fuck and don't want to watch some, and I hate to use this term, but "SJW" type movies that are diverse to be diverse and also have a bunch of gay shit and stuff straight out of a liberal arts class that ghetto poor people hate.

Yes, they like seeing people who look like them on the big screen kicking ass and referencing their culture a bit but they don't want any gay shit or lame social commentary. They want over the top action, nut shots, quips, and traditional "la familia" moments. All of which the F&F movies do very well. The action is over the top, ridiculous, and fun as hell. Rednecks don't mind the diverse cast because it's traditional manly action star protagonists of all races going around doing cool shit against villains of all races. The movie isn't some hamfisted commentary about those poor brown people being victimized by the white man. Plebs of those races don't want to see that stuff either, they don't want to sit thorough some long boring thing where they look like weak bitches and victims that white people should feel sorry for.
