He was one of the stars of what was already a major franchise worldwide. While people may not have cared about his work outside of these movies, anyone who is a fan of the F&F franchise would know him and care that he died. That would be a direct boost to the interest in his last movie of the franchise.
that doesn't move the needle anywhere CLOSE to 3rd highest grossing of all time

nobody worldwide gives A FUKK about him



Around 800-1000 cars were involved at the memorial meeting in Rotterdam.
After 1 minute of silence, there was the opportunity to make as much noise as possible for a full minute!


Around 800-1000 cars

:sas1:



Paul Walker Memorial 2014 at St-Eustache Autodrome on the 31 of may. Over 8000 cars listed came from all over Quebec to honor the fallen car enthusiast, Paul Walker, also known as Brian O'Conner in The movie series Fast and Furious. For some people, cars are transportation but to people like Paul Walker, they are a passion. R.I.P. To Paul Walker. Rest in peace and may your soul Ride In Paradise.

Over 8000 cars

Would you have considered Heath Ledger to be gawd tier in popularity or acting skill before he passed away?
You never answered this question.@Emperor_ReinScarf

People actually think a fringe actor like Paul walker in a ensemble cast movie is what drove it to be the third highest grossing movie ever :mjlol:

A principal actor in a beloved franchise who died, therefore making the movie his swan song and that drove it beyond the scope of what anyone imagined.

In fact, they altered the story of the movie to accommodate and tribute to his passing away, which means that saying goodbye to the character/actor is an integral part of the movie. So with his departure being so deeply ingrained into the movie itself, the bigger question is how anyone can claim that his passing did not attribute to this movie's success?

It's like when Pierce brosnan stopped being bond I remember fokks were saying oh no, only for the bond movies to make the most gwap they ever made.

You could put any generic blood cac to replace Paul walker and call him Billy Joe or whatever and ff would still make oodles and oodles of money.

People acting like fast and furious would have made like 100 mill or something..
I can't wait till the next one makes the same amount so I don't have to hear the sucking off a horrible actor
Dont count on it. The dark knight rises made more than the dark knight and people still claim heath is the sole reason for the dark knight making so much.

Tokyo Drift says otherwise.

There's a difference in expecting a movie to better than the last, and a movie doing beyond any expectations, and the latter is what happened here. Nobody is saying Paul's death singlehandedly doubled the movie's worldwide gross over the last one, but it did play a part, breh.
