I guess for better sales, more movies should have famous actors die a couple months before release.

Paul Walker died on November 30, 2013 and the movie released on April 3, 2015... close enough

I didn't even know this movie came out. Have I been living under a rock or was the advertising less than normal?

Less than normal... HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! The advertising budget on this was probably than the last 2 combined.

Yeah Im probably exaggerating a little

It's pretty crazy how far the F&F franchise has come (revenue wise) since its inception in 2001.

The next Avengers movie will do it in 15 days anyway. It's kind of morbid they're getting all this attention from someone's passing.

You mean the 3rd Avengers?? Because thanks to the delayed launch in the USA Avengers 2 would have a hard time doing that.

Yeah I still have no idea how it has managed to grow so much. I remeber going and seeing F&F4 in cinemas and it wasnt a big deal at all back then. Now its one of the biggest movies of all time with F&F7. Of course Paul Walkers passing helped it reach these hieghts but even the difference betwwen the first film and 6 is simply insane.

Should at least make another $100 million world wide. Releasing it everywhere world wide at about the same time was a smart move also.

I don't get the hype . Though I'm amazed this managed to reach 1 billion so fast.

I strongly believe a lot of the hype/sales are from the fact that a major actor of the film series died and people are "paying tribute" by going.



WHO IS JESUS REALLY?

Holy crap o.o I didnt know anyone actually watched these movies! I always thought they were considered B-tier movies a few people saw before bigger ones came out, I dont understand the movie industry apparently
