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.

Lucas Black in Fast 7

For those of you who are wondering whether Lucas Black will return to Fast and Furious movies, well the answer is yes. Exclusive photos have surfaced showing Lucas Black's Sean character on set with Vin Diesel and director James Wan at a funeral scene. This scene with Vin Diesel and Tyrese appears to be Han's funeral. You can view these photos on FilmThrasher.com or here.

Lucas Black left a major impact on Fast and Furious movies franchise. Starring in only The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, we see this drift racer carrying the franchise on his back. This crafty racer film definitely put Lucas Black on the Fast and Furious map. From the looks of it, we notice that Lucas Black is passionate about racing because we have seen him in many photos with suped-up cars.

Fast and Furious 7 is on tap for a release date next April 2015. In essence, this movie schedule is basically on track to reflect what Justin Lin proposed before stepping down from directorial duties (requesting 2 years or more to make Fast and Furious movies). We welcome James Wan to the Fast and Furious family. However, we had to endure the loss of Paul Walker in tragic accident which took his life and his best friend Roger Rodas. James Wan, FF crew, movie studios, and the countless fans across the world grieved this loss. Now we have a shot at seeing Paul Walker's brothers contribute to their older brother's favorite movie role as Brian O'Conner.

We are thrilled to see a major director such as James Wan assuming control of Fast and Furious 7. Wan's understanding of making solid movies give us hope that Fast and Furious 7 will become the most successful movie of the FF franchise. This extreme talent had a career-defining moment to direct Paul Walker in what will represent his last movie ever.

Lucas Black is set to return as Sean Boswell, the new DK. Will the former DK make an appearance? After the previous 3 Fast and Furious movies, we finally get to see the Tokyo Drift plot connect the dots. Sean knows that Han is a straight-shooter in his dealings; Han is all about respect. This is probably the motivation that brings Sean back, as the death of Han is connected to Owen Shaw's brother Ian Shaw, played by Jason Statham.

Will there be drifting in Fast 7? What can we expect from Jason Statham, The Transporter actor who knows a thing or two about driving cars? Djimon Hounsou, the star from Blood Diamond, is also starring in Fast & Furious 7. Based on the IMDb page, Kurt Russell will be a part of Fast 7.

Fast and Furious 7 is set to be released on April 10, 2015.

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

Fast & Furious 7 production shuts down for now

Fast and Furious movie star Paul Walker died in a horrific car crash this past weekend in Santa Clarita, California. Sadly, we lost one of our favorite Fast and Furious actors and also a great person who took part in charity functions without asking credit for his good deeds. Unfortunately, Walker's movie world mimicked his real life.

According to Variety and other news reports, Universal Studios has decided to halt production of Fast and Furious 7. As of right now, Fast and Furious 7 will cease shooting and potentially undergo extensive script rewrites to decide what to do about Paul Walker's untimely death and his role in this lucrative movie franchise. 

We will keep you all updated once we hear anything about the future production of Fast & Furious 7. In the meantime, we pay tribute to Paul Walker as a great actor and as a great person. May Paul rest in peace and know his fans miss his presence.
