Box Office Report: Fast Five Speeds Off With $83 Million
Who would have thought that the Fast and Furious film franchise, at this stage, would be pulling in these kind of numbers? Fast Five grossed an explosive $83.6 million and has Justin Lin to thank for one of the most successful entries of the Fast and Furious franchise. The fifth chapter of the Fast and Furious franchise had out grossed its predecessors in one weekend alone. Universal’s box office hit stall may have ended due to its decision to shift its gears for their high-octane car franchise, changing it from an underground street racing focus to an action heist film with cars.
Prom was second of the three new debuts to open in the top five with a rather forgetful $5 million. Rio, Madea, and Water for Elephants also earned top five slots at the box office this weekend and combined for approximate $34 million over the weekend.
