Fast & Furious 6 is racing ahead of the movie box office

Fast & Furious 6 is one of the top movies opening this weekend. The positive reception the racing movie franchise received in Fast & Furious and Fast Five strengthened the Fast and Furious fan base. Universal Studios transformed Fast and Furious movies into one of the best movie franchises ever.

According to box office analysts, Fast & Furious sold $37 million in movie tickets on Friday night. As predicted months ago, Fast & Furious 6 will easily finish first in the box office race. We are watching a box office race that resembles Dom flipping Nos on Brian to win his first race against a rookie in The Fast and the Furious (2001). 

12 years later, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker continue on their quest with a sixth Fast and Furious movie. Even more impressive is that Universal Studios is releasing Fast & Furious 7 next year with James Wan of Saw and Insidious fame expected to direct the massively popular racing movie franchise.

Justin Lin delivered four awesome Fast and Furious movies to us movie fans. The last three movies made Fast and Furious into a high grossing franchise. We expect Fast & Furious 6 to earn a whopping $110 million over the 4-day Memorial Day weekend. 

Can we expect Lucas Black to make his return to Fast & Furious movies? Sean is the top topic of Fast and Furious right now. How much longer is Han going to stay with Fast and Furious? We know his fate in Tokyo Drift, so Fast & Furious 6 may enter this Han discussion very soon. 

Fast & Furious 6 is well on pace to make above $100 million this weekend. It marks a huge boost for a sixth film, which resemble performances such as Harry Potter movies and Star Wars movies. 

Fast & Furious 6 box office predictions: 

Opening weekend: $110-117 million 

Fast Five's high octane ride scored huge box office ticket sales on Friday

May 1, 2011

Fast Five made double in box office ticket sales than the number 2-10 combined.

Justin Lin's Fast Five raced ahead of the Friday competition to generate $33,233,000 in box office ticket sales. The box office weekend is not over yet, so Fast Five's box office projections may surpass the $77 million the movie is expected to make after the weekend box office ticket sales are calculated.

Fast Five is a high octane, racing inspired movie with all the action any young crowd can hope to watch. Once the race car driving phase passed, only the Fast and the Furious movie franchise kept racers interested in the racing scene. 

Any movie with Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, Tyrese, Dwayne Johnson, Jordana Brewster and the rest of the crew all packed into one punch will rev up moviegoers. The Fast and the Furious began its race into movie theaters back in 2001. Back then, the first movie made $41 million in box office ticket sales at a time in which Eddie Murphy's Dr. Dolitle 2 was expected to rise above the box office competition.

I haven't watched Fast Five yet. I expect the movie to be action packed. The Vin and Dwayne throwdown scene is worth the $10.50 admission alone. Vin never met his match in any Fast and the Furious movies. Fast Five will deliver the box office gold on Saturday and Sunday, adding to its already impressive $33,233,000 in box office ticket sales the movie collected on Friday night. If you want to enjoy an action packed weekend, race down to the theaters and watch Fast Five.
