There's a reason they brought Han back and refuse to kill him off (unless they finally did in this one).

Han already died in the first movie he appeared in and they revisited his death at the end of Fast 6. The only new footage of him in this movie was one image of him.

Does anyone think it has enough steam to knock Avatar out of the #1 spot. I've been hoping that something, anything, will finally do this. Dances With Smurfs is an insult to the human race.


It won't get close.

Funny story though, after The Avengers came out and set the box office record for opening weekend, I read an article where a guy was discussing what movies could take that opening weekend record and potentially take that record and 4 of the 5 are happening:

Avengers 2
Star Wars Episode 7
Batman vs Superman
Justice League

He technically kicked it way back in Fast and Furious 3 (Tokyo Drift) and all the ones since happened before that flick in the timeline.
I know, but his huge popularity was the reason they did it that way.

I personally don't care about spoilers in this movie, but you might want to edit out the first sentence of your last post.

Kudos to them for making what accounts for the best "old school" action movie descendants out there. Basically.


agreed

I think shocking is the right word for it in amount of dollars, and amount of time.

If you were asked "Hey man, what movie made 1 billion dollars in 17 days?"

How many movies would you name before F7? 20? Would that movie even come to mind?

pretty cool
