I'm going to go out a limb here... Either most of you don't like cars,girls, and action or you just don't realize why this movie sells.

Its a movie that doesn't strive to expectations but its strives to provide a good film while you have free time.

Seeing as how Star Trek has a much bigger fan base, by far, than F&F I assumed that the second weekend of Into Darkness would outperform 6 by far. Hence the thread.


Fast 5 made $209 million domestically and $626 million worldwide. It made $86 million in its opening weekend.

the Star Trek reboot made $257 million domestically and $385 worldwide. It made $79 million in its opening weekend.

considering that most movies make about half their opening weekend take in their second weekend and that Trek made $83 million last weekend, there was almost zero chance that Trek would out perform Fast 6.

looks like picking up the rock has been a good move. I don't get people that act like FF5 was great. It was pretty much in line with my expectations. There were cringe-worthy bad moments but it was good dumb entertainment. Pretty much like 1-2. And 6 being a smash-hit makes me wonder how many we'll see. 10 looks very possible.

IDGAF what people say, I'll be seeing FF6 next weekend.

Love me some cars, girls, and action.

The 4th one was my first bluray purchase.

95% of audience liked it too on Rotten Tomatoes. That's on 55,000 votes. That hardly ever happens on Rotten Tomatoes.

To be fair, that applies to almost any other past and present "franchise" from Die Hard to Friday the 13th.
