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.

Furious 7 is off to a super fast start on its opening night. According to BoxOffice.com, Furious 7 delivered a whopping $55 million on Friday, surpassing box office predictions of $115 million and $122 million before this major blockbuster hit the road on Thursday night.

Opening weekend is now expected at $135+ million. Furious 7 is on pace to become the top April movie release ever. Thursday night screenings amassed $15.8 million in ticket sales. Given this major debut, paired with huge Friday night showings of $55 million, Furious 7 is outdistancing all competitors to make its mega fast weekend to a race remember.

Digital Paul Walker in unfinished scenes?

On a Screen Crush website, there are reports of CGI in the later Paul Walker scenes. CGI is favored to crop Paul's face on his brother Cody's face. Given this effort, we get to watch Paul Walker appear as real in missing scenes he couldn't shoot after his death in 2013.

Screen Crush breaks down Paul Walker scenes which are enhanced through CGI. It is a visual trick that was employed in mega blockbuster Gladiator to wrap up scenes following the death of Oliver Reed while portraying Proximo. 

We expect widespread discussions on Paul Walker CGI scenes. This approach is perhaps the best solution to say goodbye to Paul Walker in a positive way without killing off his character in a crash scene. 

Paul Walker is a sensitive topic in Fast and Furious movies. Therefore, we want to honor one of the main actors who put The Fast and the Furious on the map. Furious 7 is firing up its engines, awaiting a huge opening weekend beginning on Thursday night showings. The race is on April 3, 2015. 

Thank you Paul Walker for making Fast and Furious movies so awesome. We appreciate the contribution of Paul Walker's family to help wrap up this seventh film. Paul is smiling down on his FF cast, friends, family and fans.

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.



1 weeks away! Furious 7 opens next weekend

Furious 7 is on tap for next weekend. This seventh installment to the highly anticipated street racing movie franchise represents Paul Walker's last stand ever. Unfortunately, Paul Walker passed away in a fiery car accident in Valencia, California in 2013. This tragedy stalled out Furious 7 until the studio, director James Wan, and the rest of the FF team could figure out the right path to take with Furious 7.

Based on the recent movie trailers, Furious 7 is ready to make a huge splash next weekend. When we say huge, we are talking about massive box office ticket sales. This Furious 7 movie will make big money in its first 3-days in release. Midnight showings will start the race off, carrying forward well into the weekend box office.

Major actors are starring in Furious 7. Kirk Russell and Jason Statham joined the Fast and Furious movie franchise. We suspect Lucas Black will reappear in Furious 7, adding another dimension to this complex plot line established in The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.

See yall next weekend. Furious 7 opens on April 4, 2015.

Furious 7 is on tap in less than 8 weeks

Furious 7 is scheduled to be released on April 3, 2015, exactly 7 weeks from Friday the 13th. FF fans are anxiously anticipating the seventh installment to this electrifying movie franchise.

Furious 7 is Paul Walker's last Fast & Furious movie ever. Given this tear jerking reminder, turnout for Furious 7 on April 3-5, 2015 weekend is expected to break box office records.

BoxOffice.com is predicting Furious 7 to earn $115 million in its opening weekend and $260 million cumulative. Based on a massive fan base, as shown by 54+ million Facebook likes and counting, Furious 7 can race ahead of projections and deliver a much higher opening weekend and cumulative total.

Furious 7 will say goodbye to Han, a character we enjoyed watching in Fast and Furious movies. He has starred in 5 Fast & Furious movies, including Furious 7.

We welcome Kirk Russell and Jason Statham to Fast and Furious movies. The fast adrenaline ride is on tap this April 3, 2015. The countdown to this Furious 7 movie opening is 51 days from today.

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

"Paul Walker Discusses Life Before Fame" video

Paul Walker is interviewed in a video titled "Paul Walker Discusses Life Before Fame". In this interview, Paul mentioned that "20's were good. 30's were good. 40's are gonna be awesome".

How sad to hear Paul share his insight on his 40's. He had everything going for him. His teenage daughter moved in with him in California. Paul was a superstar actor known all over the world for his Fast and Furious movies. He has been in show business since a baby, but it was The Fast and the Furious in 2001 that catapulted his movie career.

If Paul never got involved in car crash that took the life of his good friend Roger Rodas and himself, we would see Walker's awesome 40's continue to play out on the silver screen and in charities.

You're an awesome dude Paul Walker. You will never be forgotten. Your movies will inspire your fans to achieve greatness.

Watch the Paul Walker interview below:

Universal Studios video on the Fast & Furious franchise

A classic Paul Walker and Vin Diesel scene from the Fast & Furious Vault


Fast & Furious 7 gets a new release date

Fast and Furious movie franchise experienced a major jolt after their franchise star died in a car accident in Santa Clarita, California last month. Fans were divided on whether Universal Studios should continue making these highly popular racing/heist movies without Paul Walker. Fast and Furious 7 ceased shooting and there was even talk if the seventh edition would be scrapped altogether.

As reported on NY Daily News and other news websites, Vin Diesel announced that Fast & Furious 7 is set to be released on April 15, 2015. Initially, Fast & Furious 7 was scheduled to be released next year on July 14, 2014. When Paul Walker died, the studio postponed production to discuss how to handle this extreme situation.

Fast & Furious 7 is expected to show Paul Walker's last scenes. Chris Morgan is the talented screenwriter who penned a string of Fast and Furious movies and Wanted, is capable of revising the FF #7 screenplay through past scenes and existing material.

Paul Walker was an awesome dude! We wish we could tell you Happy New Year and thank you in person. Even though we never met you, we enjoyed your movies dating back to the 90's.

If we remember correctly, you starred in an old Who's The Boss episode. We look forward to watching you again in Fast & Furious 7, the movie franchise you helped to launch in 2001.

New Fast & Furious 7 release date: April 15, 2015

Final release date: April 10, 2015

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.
