I had no idea,I read a article about it,and saw multiple websites confirming
'Hobbs and Shaw' Box Office Tracking Numbers Predict a $65 Million Opening Weekend
"The early
Hobbs and Shaw box office tracking predictions are in, and it turns out Luke Hobbs (
Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (
Jason Statham) don’t seem to have quite the same appeal without the rest of the
Fast and Furious#family. The first spin-off in the
Fast franchise is currently on track to pull in between
$55-65 million domestically during its opening weekend – a far cry from
The Fate of the Furious, which peeled out and raced past $98 million in its opening back in 2017"
The studio is fukking up big time,I've been seeing commercials for this shyt for too long for it to not be coming out until Aug. But trust me,they have the analytics,you guys have to get with the times. They know the numbers and can give a estimate before they come in. Based on my own analyticals this is about what I expect as well,more like 51-57million in its opening weekend imo. They made a few big mistakes,only the Rock is big on social media. When has Jason Statham ever been the star of his own blockbuster?He's a career straight to dvd actor. Then you have the Rock who has alientated the fanbase of F&F,so I'm sure many of them will boycott. I'm not sure if yall realize how diehard alot of F&F fans are. The Rock has made enemies of Vin Disel and Tyres?Not a good move. Vin is a staple and what blew the franchise back up to prominence.And Tyrese is actually the heart of the franchise as the comic relief. These movies would be nothing if they took themselves too seriously. Ironically the movie would have done better numbers if it was Hobbs and Roman. Why they put Jason Statham as the costar when they could have just made Idris the costar I'll never know.Statham was great as a villian,don't know if he has the chops for a buddy comedy where he is one of the leads.
