Whether you’re fan of the franchise or not (I’ve never seen any of the FAST & FURIOUS films and I’m being dragged to see the latest sequel tonight), you can’t deny the pull it attracts at the box-office. This past weekend marked Memorial Day in America, with the film raking in a very respectable $120 million!
While competing against THE HANGOVER PART III and THE GREAT GATSBY, FAST & FURIOUS 6 didn’t disappoint, with it being the fourth-highest Memorial Day opening in box-office history. Bringing in around $33,000 per cinema, it makes it the second biggest opening in 2013 behind IRON MAN 3. The fifth sequel has brought in around $317 million globally, giving it $157 million in profit! Not bad for a sequel (and apparently America loves them!)
