Furious 7 Box Office Results

Furious 7 is making money at an extremely fast rate. As of right now, Furious 7 has raced off to $183.7 million in the U.S. box office. This seventh installment is predicted to perform well in its second weekend. We expect Furious 7 to outpace the entire Fast and Furious 6 run in less than two weeks.

According to BoxOffice.com, Furious 7 is predicted to capture $61 million in its second weekend and amass $255 million in total ticket sales in 2 weeks. Wow!

Universal Studios invested big and got huge returns. Their bread and butter in Fast and Furious movies give them access to a fan base who will turn Furious 7 into a $1 billion dollar international success. Worldwide, movie fans love these racing/heist movies. They've watched Vin Diesel and Paul Walker compete on the silver screen for 14 years. Loyalty never fails to deliver.

Furious 7 is the last Fast and Furious movie for the late Paul Walker. This film is the first to bring the timeline up to present and move the storyline past Tokyo Drift.

Watch Furious 7 this weekend at the box office.


Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson meal planning

The Rock plays Luke Hobbs in Furious 7. He joined Fast and Furious movies in Fast Five. This ex-WWE wrestler known as The Rock, turned into a superstar actor the moment he joined the Fast and Furious movie franchise in Fast Five. Dwayne is on the cusp of greatness, contributing his acting talents in the recent blockbuster Furious 7 movie and is about to star in disaster flick, San Andreas this summer.

Nevertheless, Dwayne is having a career year, such as what we've seen with Kevin Hart, Channing Tatum and other up-and-coming performers. The Rock shared his daily meal planning, which consists of a whole lot of Cod fish. Seven meals per day equal 4,100 in calories. This includes a daily workout regime as intense as professional bodybuilders, helping to maintain his strong physique.

Dwayne is the real deal. He reached the top of the mountain as a wrestler. He is making big strides in Hollywood. What is next for Dwayne Johnson? There are no limits to his growth, as shown in his physical strength and character likeability. This charismatic actor is ready to accept the next challenge.

In the meantime, check out The Rock's daily meal preparation and intake. No wonder Dwayne is able to keep in prime shape. Read here to view his meal planning.

Vin Diesel names his daughter after his late pal Paul Walker

Vin Diesel naming his daughter after his best buddy Paul Walker squashes any debate on the rumored feud between the two Fast and Furious stars. Paul Walker appeared as a good guy to many. His good American looks made him a top pick on most female lists of the hottest men in the world. There's no question Paul Walker attracted countless female fans to his past movies.

Vin named his daughter Pauline, a really nice girl name that resembles Paul. He admits that Paul's presence inspired him to name his daughter Pauline. It is a bond these two friends will share forever.

Paul Walker was a genuine person who never made magazine covers for his antics. He represented the face of Fast and Furious movies, which Vin Diesel later returned to in Fast & Furious to re-energize this beloved racing movie franchise. His cameo appearance in Tokyo Drift set-up the plot twist that is finally connecting us fans to present time.

As we know, Han is gone. Jason Statham is playing the brother of Owen Shaw, who is on a revenge mission to avenge his brother's death. James Wan, horror movie director, with Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter 2 to his name, is sure to make Furious 7 an awesome experience.

In the meantime, we can show respect for Vin Diesel naming his daughter after his best friend and honoring his memory forever. What an admirable act on Vin Diesel's part.

Furious 7 is set to release in movie theaters next weekend. It will become a certified blockbuster on Sunday, where this movie will likely pass the $100 million mark domestically. There is more to come, so watch the race next week.

Well done Vin! You are a great person. Paul Walker is proud of you.

Fast and Furious 7 Facebook page revs up to 45,867,448 Likes!

Fast & Furious 7 is now in post-production. FF fans are eagerly awaiting the birth of Fast and Furious 7, the last Paul Walker movie due out in theaters on April 3, 2015. This high octane racing and heist movie combined these genre ingredients to drive the franchise into mega stardom. Paul Walker and Vin Diesel represented Fast and Furious movies with the highest respect, pouring their hearts into these awesome films since the high powered The Fast and the Furious movie glorified street racing in 2001.

James Wan joined Fast and Furious last year after delivering two knockout punches in the box office. The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter II both opened at $40+ million in the weekend box office, representing box office records for one director in the same year. No director before James Wan has opened two movies in the same year at $40+ million, let alone having two movies falling into the horror genre. James Wan and Paul Walker instantly clicked, where Walker shared in an interview before his passing that he considered James a "G" for his work ethics and confidence.

The unexpected death of the Fast and Furious protagonist, Paul Walker, changed the dynamics of this FF movie series. The rumor mill is churning talk, with recent news circulating on Film Blend, that Fast and Furious 7 may represent the last Fast and Furious movie ever. According to this film website, the stress of delivering the best possible movie under extreme conditions (Paul Walker's passing), exhausted the cast and crew. Moving forward without the franchise star could decrease interest over time.

We never doubted that Fast and Furious 7 would propel, even with one of our favorite Fast and Furious stars gone forever. Dating back to Fast & Furious, this film series has outperformed itself time-after-time again. Weekend box office numbers for Fast & Furious 7 are expected to grab $115+ million. It wouldn't surprise us if Fast and Furious 7 generates $300+ million in its overall domestic box office and nearly $1 billion worldwide.

Fast and Furious 7 has raced off to 45,867,448 Facebook likes. This is impressive! The high number of likes indicate that Fast and Furious has a huge following. If we convert these Facebook numbers into movie ticket sales, then we are looking at over $600+ million in ticket sales. This does not factor in fans who want to watch the movie multiple times and those who don't use Facebook.

Fast and Furious 7 will be the biggest story of 2015. It will make its way onto the silver screen post-Paul Walker. As Film Blend shared, this film is more about a tribute to Paul Walker than anything else. Watch Fast and Furious 7 in theaters on April 3, 2015. Keep an eye on this website for upcoming news. #GoFF7

It's a Wrap! Fast & Furious crew finishes up shooting Fast & Furious 7 and is now in Post-Production

Fast & Furious 7 is now in Post-Production. James Wan and his team are working on completed production material to package this much anticipated FF movie in a major blockbuster. Since the late Paul Walker is no longer here with us, Universal Studios, producers and James Wan held meetings on how to handle this tragedy. With emotions set aside, Universal Studio green lighted Fast & Furious 7 production and this film is now being cut. This Fast & Furious 7 movie will be a tribute to the late Paul Walker.

Many Fast and Furious movie fans mourned the death of their favorite FF star. It saddened them to see any news coverage on Paul Walker's death. We were deeply affected by this shocking news. It is surreal to think that this will be the last time we watch Paul Walker at the movies.

Several months after Paul Walker's passing, James Wan has now completed production of Fast & Furious 7. According to Cinema Blend, Vin Diesel and crew wrote a heartfelt love letter to Paul Walker and FF fans. This letter proves how genuine these performers actually are and how they treat their co-stars and fans like a family. There is cohesiveness in every movie. Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and cast members went out on the junket to promote Fast & Furious movies with excitement and respect.

We can consider Fast and Furious movies a part of our family. We get lost in the adventures these FF movies deliver us. The viewing experience is always rewarding, no matter if this is our first run or multiple runs into the FF race. Fast and Furious movies are what make Hollywood a dream land.

We dream to become our best. Dom is a gifted racer who refuses to lose. Brian never gave up trying to beat Dom, Their on-scene bond made these racing movies the best experience. The Fast and the Furious (2001) movie overcame the odds to win out in the box office with a massive $41 million in its first weekend. The ride has never stopped since then. Paul Walker continued to move the franchise forward with 2 Fast 2 Furious. This movie scored a knockout on its first weekend and preserved this series.

We assumed Tokyo Drift would slow down the franchise. Think again. This change of scenery added another dimension, another dynamic to the plot. We were treated to Fast and Furious movies going backwards to reveal backstories and predetermined events prior to Tokyo Drift. We learned about Han. We learned more about Dom and his loyalty for his family. If Dom accepted you, everyone respected you.

What many thought wouldn't move forward after the passing of Paul Walker, it is now a reality. In 9 months from now, James Wan will give birth to Fast & Furious 7. This wide release on April 3, 2015 is expected to break box office records. FF fans know this is the last time they will see Paul Walker on the silver screen. Fast & Furious 7 is Paul Walker's last movie ever.

We can't wait until April 3, 2015 to watch Fast & Furious 7. James Wan is a brilliant director. We enjoyed his past work in Saw, Insidious, The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter 2. However, Wan's Dead Silence is on the lower end of these great horror movies listed above. Fast & Furious 7 is James Wan's first major action movie, so this release will show us his visionary directorial gift in motion.

As mentioned in this Cinema Blend article, the author believes that Fast and Furious 7 will represent the last film in this series. Because the death of Paul Walker, the crew struggled to finish production. Making Fast & Furious 8  & 9 may not make sense for this crew anymore. It is not the same without Paul Walker's energy. His physical presence is longer around to inspire them, only his memory.

If this Fast & Furious 7 movie is the last, get out there and watch it as many times as possible to pay tribute to Paul Walker. Thank Vin Diesel for delivering the best performances of his movie career. Show gratitude for all Fast and Furious crew members that entertained us for the past 14 years (by the time the movie is released next year).

Awesome work Fast & Furious crew for completing production on Fast 7!

RIP Paul Walker: Thank you for inspiring us to believe in life beyond our ourselves.

Rumor Mill: Paul Walker's ending in Fast and Furious movies

The world knows by now that Paul Walker left us on November 30, 2013 in Santa Clarita, California. Universal Studios and film crew put Fast and Furious 7 on hold to mourn the death of their beloved friend and co-star, Paul Walker. The rumor mill is moving overtime, speculating that Paul Walker's brother Cody Walker could/would stand-in to complete the remaining scenes. Another rumor is that Paul Walker wouldn't be killed off in the FF series to show respect for this sensitive issue.

Read this Vibe article on Paul Walker's expected fate in his Fast and Furious 7 ending here

Paul Walker and his death are heartfelt to millions. There is positive reception on this kind individual, whose work beyond movie acting made a difference in countless lives. It's sad to lose someone such as Paul Walker, a genuine human being that had many more years to grace this world. However, we live life and hope we can make a difference day-in and day-out. We never know when our last day will come. All we can do is our best to live a quality life, making another person smile with every passing minute.

Paul Walker made us smile. The good he's done will live on in his memory. We anticipate Fast & Furious 7 under James Wan will be a mega blockbuster. James Wan is a brilliant director, whose past work in Saw, Dead Silence, The Conjuring, and Insidious movies gained Paul Walker's respect. Paul called James a "G" in an interview before his death.

Fast & Furious 7 will be Paul Walker's last film ever. We suspect Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor will be retired to show respect because killing this character off in a fiery crash is way too cruel. We have to separate fact from fiction. It is the right way to say goodbye to Paul Walker on the silver screen. We enjoyed his work on the Fast and Furious series. It saddened us all, many of us shedding tears anytime Paul Walker's name surfaced in the news, on websites, and in a new movie.

Lets make Paul Walker's last movie end on a memorable note. We sense there will be an end credit that mentions "In Loving Memory of Paul Walker 1973-2013." Universal Studios is an amazing movie studio who is loyal to their employees. On April 3, 2014, go to the movie and watch Fast & Furious 7. Drive your racing cars, if you have one, to dedicate this opening weekend to Paul Walker.

Paul Walker's end in Fast & Furious 7 will likely be handled as a retirement from heisting and racing. It is the best way to show appreciation and gratitude for the late Paul Walker. From this point, after Fast and Furious 7 ends, we will never see Paul Walker on the silver screen again. We can rent Paul Walker movies, but there won't be any upcoming movies involving Paul after April 3. Watch Fast & Furious 7 as much as possible to pay tribute to this great actor who lived for the world first and took care of himself second.

In Loving Memory of Paul Walker

1973-2013

Fast and Furious Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Theme Park revealed a new Fast and Furious ride is on tap to open next Summer 2015. It will give FF fans an adrenaline ride to experience; what the movie actors experience on the set. It will feel as if you're driving at speeds in excess of 100 m.p.h.

Universal Studios is the premiere movie entertainment destination in the world. It is the site of many hit television and movie productions. Fans are treated to actual outdoor sets where movies are shot on location. Fast and Furious is Universal Studios' highly popular and profitable movie franchise.

Several years ago, I got to see several Fast and Furious cars on display at Universal Studios. These were the cars that were used in the first three FF movies. I'm definitely looking forward to take the Fast and Furious ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Fast & Furious 7 is due out in movie theaters on April 3, 2015. Its release date was move up a week. We can expect Fast and Furious 7 to break some weekend records in April of next year. We're ready for this new Fast and Furious ride next Summer in Hollywood, California.

Paul Walker Memorial Site

Back in March I visited Southern California. On the way back up to Northern California I visited Paul Walker's Memorial site to pay tribute to this great human being and awesome actor.

Paul Walker, "If One Day The Speed Kills me, Do Not Cry Because I was smiling" is a fake or real quote?

What an awesome quote for an awesome dude. Paul Walker is said to have engineered this quote, "If One Day The Speed Kills Me, Do Not Cry Because I was Smiling." We are not sure whether Paul Walker designed this quote.

Wow, this quote makes the tragedy much more intense because speed was most likely involved in this horrific accident and that Paul was known to millions of fans as the superstar behind Fast and Furious movies.

We want to believe Paul Walker and his good friend and business partner Roger Rodas were smiling before their fiery death. Fast and Furious quotes and personal quotes are going to lead this tragic discussion.

The new Fast and Furious movie was just got released on DVD and the seventh installment of this highly popular racing franchise could resume shooting after the dust settles.

We will always remember you Paul Walker.

Paul Walker Tribute: Racers remember Fast and Furious star actor

As you all know, Paul Walker died in Santa Clarita where this city is now his last resting place. Paul Walker is the foundation that drives Fast & Furious movies. The tragic news of his death hit us hard. Until this day, we can't help but to be sad about losing Paul Walker too soon.

Nobody wishes for any person to die. We all deserve a chance to live a good life. Walker is one of those unique actors who inspired many people to give back to their community.

Racers paid tribute to their favorite on-screen racer on Sunday December 8. In a fitting ending, racers drove in honor of Paul Walker and his Brian O'Connor Fast & Furious character. 

 Paul Walker would be thankful to know his memory lives on in his fans, friends and family.

We remember Paul Walker

In great sadness, we lost Paul Walker yesterday afternoon in Santa Clarita, California to a fiery crash that took the life of this truly awesome actor. I lived in this Santa Clarita city (Valencia) for 7 years, which makes this tragedy even more hard to accept.

I was shocked to learn of Paul Walker's passing from a text message my brother sent me in the late evening. Usually, I hear this type of news right way. However, I had no idea Walker died in a horrific car crash.

Paul Walker started acting in television in 1986. He bursted on the movie scene in the 90's, where he earned critical acclaim in Varsity Blues. Walker starred opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in She's All That, another teenage flick this actor used to fuel his future roles.

We all know Paul Walker as Brian O'Conner in Fast and Furious movies. It is Walker's signature role in these high octane racing movies that remind us of his amazing talent. Fast and Furious 7 is currently filming, so this tragedy amplifies the loss of Paul Walker.

Paul Walker died at the age of 40. We are shocked and numb, Walker left us too early. We will always remember you.

Rest in Peace Paul Walker.

The Fast and the Furious bursted onto the movie scene in 2001. This racing movie capitalized on street racing, where tricked out import cars race for money and/or pink slips. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker, two actors in previous movies, raced their way to movie stardom. The Fast and the Furious opened up number #1 at the box office with an astounding $41 million, igniting six Fast and Furious movies.

Millions Fast and Furious movie fans are revving their movie engines. Fast & Furious 6 is coming soon. It is predicted to make above $100 million this weekend, even with The Hangover Part III also opening, too. These two big movies will earn close to $200 million combined. 

Whereas $200 million is not as much as compared to The Avengers $200+ million opening weekend last summer, a $200 million opening weekend for two films that cost less than the comic book movie is huge. Fast & Furious 6 is expected to win the weekend box office in a close finish.

Follow The Fast and the Furious news on IMDb

The Fast and Furious movies is about to get a new director. As covered in our last article and reported from several websites such as Dark Horizons and The Movie Blog, James Wan is expected to become the new director of The Fast and the Furious 7 movie due to be released next summer. The previous Fast and Furious movie director, Justin Lin, will hand over the torch to James Wan.

Justin Lin directed the past Fast and Furious movies - The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Fast & Furious, Fast Five and the upcoming The Fast and the Furious 6. James Wan is a talented director with the movie skills to carry forward Justin Lin's complex Fast and Furious plot design.

Talking about a fast turnaround with The Fast and the Furious 6 coming out this May 24, 2013 and The Fast and the Furious 7 scheduled to possibly be released in July 2014. The Fast and the Furious 7 is an unorthodox role for James Wan, as his past movies are all about horror. His upcoming movies The Conjuring and Insidious Chapter 2 are scheduled to be released July 19 and September 13, respectively.

Nonetheless, James Wan understands movie directing. He can make the transition from horror filmmaker to action/heist movie guy. Len Wiseman started his direction in Underworld, and then moved right into Live Free or Die Hard. The science fiction to action transition resembles a horror to action/heist.

Lucas Black in The Fast and the Furious 7?

Will Lucas Black make his return to The Fast and the Furious franchise? The first and last time Lucas Black's Sean character starred in a The Fast and Furious movie, the rookie drift racer beat out DK to settle a score between the two best drifters. In terms of box office viability, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift is least popular movie among the previous FF movies. One character has the influence to turn Fast and Furious movies into a major race. Will Lucas Black make a special cameo appearance in The Fast and the Furious 6?

Lucas Black is the most wanted Fast and Furious character. His Sean character adds another dimension to the The Fast and the Furious series. Han guided this young racer into the new DK. Furthermore, Japan is a prime location that makes drift racing into an exhilarating spectacle. Black's career is about to skyrocket soon, which we expect will result from his possible cameo appearance like a recent reveal in Fast Five. Movie spoilers racing all over the web, hinting that Lucas Black's Sean is going to join Dom's clan.

As a matter of fact, Sean is the main reason the new The Fast and the Furious movie is on the verge of outperforming previous Fast and Furious movies. Sean is like NEO in The Matrix movies. He is the chosen one. His drift racing skills are required to battle the next antagonist. Sean is the hybrid character that future Fast and Furious movies need to make The Fast and the Furious 7 the most anticipated movie in the series run. Fast Seven is the lucky seven in these racing and heist movies.  

Nevertheless, the upcoming The Fast and the Furious 6 movie has over 25 million Facebook fans. Lucas Black and Sean searches are arriving daily. We want to know if Lucas Black is coming back? Will Sean make a special cameo in The Fast and the Furious 6? Is Han about to meet his end in The Fast and the Furious 6? All eyes are on next month, the blockbuster opening to The Fast and the Furious 6 movie.

Check out The Fast and the Furious 6 trailer on this website header. Vote on the website poll as to whether Lucas Black will make his return in The Fast and the Furious franchise. Enjoy the fast ride!

What Happened to Letty?

image credit: people.Theiapolis.com

Question: In Fast Five, Vincent confronts Dom about Letty, "What happened to Letty?!"

Answer: Letty dies in Fast & Furious. Fenix runs down Letty on an abandoned road. Letty's car turns a road and flip on its back. Fenix shoots Letty.

Why is Letty killed? Letty attempts to escape the crime lord Braga. Fenix, Braga's associate and front drug runner, kills Letty to prevent her from escaping.

Letty only accepts the drug runner job to keep the crew together because Dom abandons his family in order to protect them. There may way to manipulate the plot to bring back Letty. Han managed to ease into another Fast and the Furious film after his death in Tokyo Drift. Nonetheless, the plot was flexible due to the prequel context.

Indeed, Letty is an extremely popular Fast and the Furious character. Dom was deeply affected by her death. Surely enough, he blames himself for unselfishly leaving Letty. Letty is a tough girl that is the only one that can control Dom. Letty and Han are two supporting characters who will leave a void in future Fast and the Furious films. Producers are probably working with the plot to bring back the two popular characters.
