Furious 7 makes me...well, furious. It's not a bad movie from what I understand, but like the Transformers movies before it, I just don't believe it deserves to be on the 1 billion club. When a movie like Furious 7 can come along and (presumably) match the WORLDWIDE box office receipts of stuff like Return of the King and Harry Potter and the DEathly Hallows 2...I think we might have a problem.

At this rate it might match The Avengers. Madness.

I don't have any PROBLEM with the movie, but that kind of feverent worldwide love should be reserved for, you know...good movies. Great movies, not "This is cheap fun" movies.

Honestly a big reason why it's doing so well is because of Paul Walker. I believe the next movie will have a decline in numbers.

Also, China is always a big factor.

oh, I know that quite well, but The Dark Knight didn't do numbers this good, and it was a far more critically hailed film with better characters and an equally tragic death looming over it.
