People wanted to see if Dom would fly through the air again.

in all seriousness

1. they had great momentum from the previous 2 movies. 5 was probably the best movie of the franchise and about doubled what #4 did. 6 was really good as well and did even better at the boxoffice
2. Paul Walker's death and how they would handle it.
3. Those trailers even had me hooked and I'm not big on that type of movie

People need to stop acting like Paul's death didn't influence it a lot. Was it solely responsible? Hell no, it's similar to how TDK still would've been the hit of the year without Heath Ledger dying, but his death drew more attention and therefore audiences to the movie. And you can bring up Brick Mansions and whatever to say Paul dying had little to no effect on those movies, well guess what? Ledger's death did nothing for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus because it doesn't bring attention to all of their unreleased movies, it only brings attention to the movie the death is 'linked' to in the media. Ledger's death was linked to his performance in TDK, so that got the 'death boost', Walker's death was linked to F7, so that got the 'death boost'.

These are the WORST movies to me. I got dragged to see this seventh one on a date, I sat there the whole time like :upsetfavre:. I haven't seen a sequel to this since the first one, and I turned that bullshyt off half way through the movie. I guess people just like to see cars and explosions. There's no way they're watching it for the compelling plot and academy award winning acting. TERRIBLE.

How did you go on a date to see the movie, and turned it off? You break into the projector room?

Seriously left this movie with a headache, don't know if from too much action bad acting or stupid script.

Gonna be back for fast 8 tho, the movie is just fun. It's literally what I would have made if I was still 5 years old and had infinite resources.

As much as I like action flicks these films should be right up my alley, but it's transformers status for me. Action scenes are just too dumb, no suspense, no compelling plots. Just a bunch of noise. MM did the car chase action genre justice, so much better.

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
its about to pass the avengers for 3rd on the highest grossing movies of all time :dwillhuh: why has it been so HUGE worldwide? did paul walker's death really elevate it THAT much?its outperformed age of ultron and it might do the same to star wars

the fast & furious franchise has always been pretty big but furious 7 was some next level shyt


yes... a white man that looked young and was considered one of the best looking men by women black, white and whatever else.. gets killed tragically doing what he did in his last 6 famous movies

then the videos of the cast crying.. the cancellation but wait, we gonna do it for paul, the inclusion of his brothers, the start crying right now ending, with the wiz sad song at the end.. and then they topped it off saying it's the last one (which they now said "got emm, we dropping another")


would it have been successful... yes

would it have been THIS successful... no
