Funny thing to add,f. Gary gray broke the record for biggest domestic opening by a film with a black director.

The record he broke? His own from straight outta Compton :banderas:
He got some good work under his belt and a bonafide classic in "Friday" then "Set it Off" the underrated "The Negotiator" big budget blockbusters like "Straight Outta Compton" dude does numbers

Only compared to the 7th. It's still the highest grossing one besides that one. And like an exec said they caught lightning in the bottle for part 7. No one was expecting it ever to do those numbers domestically again. So they assumed the worst

pretty much fast and furious pt 7 is the skyfall of the franchise, doesn't mean the other bond films are flops just that it was the perfect timing to make that type of $$$

The Rock Will Do Next 'Fast and the Furious' Movie, Beef with Vin Diesel Squashed

0417-the-rock-vin-diesel-tmz-7.jpg

The Rock and Vin Diesel have buried the hatchet and both will star in the next installment of the insanely popular 'Fast and the Furious' franchise ... sources involved in the production tell TMZ.

Our sources say Vin and Dwayne have met privately several times since animosity between them exploded on the set of "The Fate of the Furious." We're told they are "good" and both are "1000% in" for the next flick.

The sources are opening up about the feud ... one explaining it was all over "real estate." In movie language, real estate is all about how much an actor shines -- who gets the best action scenes, who gets the hottest girl, who shows off their body more, and who gets the most face time.

It became a big issue for Dwayne and Vin, but ultimately, Dwayne acknowledged it was Vin's movie -- he's listed #1 on the call sheet.

The one thing the feud was not about ... money. They both make a fortune off the franchise.

But all systems go for the next installment

Don't know how people on this forum can hate on this franchise or its success.

People here always complaining about white washing,not enough diversity etc.

This franchise is by far the most diverse franchise in blockbuster history. Cast members from all over the world of every race. Black directors,Asian directors etc.

Filmed in real locations worldwide.

But I guess if you throw 4 white males in capes instead we should bow down to Disney :hhh:


HIT IT ON THE HEAD...

this that shyt that we been protesting for.. giving blonde blue eyed cacs all the power.. fawwwwk dat

hey guys lets pass up being in the biggest movie franchise out there where we make 25-30 mill each
I still think the whole thing was staged from day 1.

And neither guy is going to leave. It's the biggest thing they'll ever be a part of.

Those Riddikk films ain't gonna get funded without that fast money :heh:
