Sad that Fast & Furious is more popular than Star Wars now

Cast Vin Diesel as the Emperor's new proxy clone!

After all, no one's ever really gone.

I like where you're going with this.

What, the franchise that is immensely loyal to its fans?

Not really. Hobbs & Shaw and Fate Of The Furious aka Fast & Furious 8 didn't do so well in the U.S. Well, compared to the previous Fast & Furious movies. The rest of the world is pretty much keeping the movies going. Looks like it might be a good idea to have 10 be the end of the series/franchise and not do anymore. The plan is to go to 10, see where things stand, and decide if they want to end it or keep going. But if the U.S. doesn't care about the movies (I feel like I'm the only American that gives a crap about these movies now and will watch them), then there is no real point in making them. I think the U.S. is the main target audience for these movies, but if they have to rely heavily on the rest of the world to get these movies to make money, then there is no real point in making them anymore. I did notice that when I saw 8 and Hobbs & Shaw in theaters on opening day/night, the theater/auditorium wasn't sold out or completely full. 6 was the last one that sold out in the movie theater in my town. Heck, there wasn't enough seats for the showing I was at. People had to sit in the aisles and stuff. Pretty sure people were sneaking in and stuff/buying tickets for one movie but going to Fast & Furious 6. Furious 7 I'd say was about 75-85% full opening day. 8 was about 40-50% full opening day, and then Hobbs & Shaw was about 30-35% full opening day. I thought it was just my theater/town or the time of the showing i went to (I did one of the late showings for each), but box office is showing they aren't doing that hot in the U.S and all the box office success is coming from the rest of the world. So I'd say Star Wars is still bigger than Fast & Furious. Fast & Furious is dying, and Universal needs to stick with 10 being the last movie. They should end it before they start flopping in the U.S.

Not really.Both franchises have run out of steam.Fast and furious has devolved into a cartoon with over the top stunts and I've lost interest in Star wars the next generation.

The advantage the F&F movies have over SW, is that their fans for the most part all want the same things from their movies. We know what we want from the F&F, and they know what we want, so they make movies based on that. Everyone knows what they're going to get when to go see one of their movies, and we all walk away satisfied.

Maybe it's common sense that many more men and boys would prefer high-speed motor racing in flash expensive cars, as opposed to space wizards with laser swords, pew-pew spaceships and puppets? The latter always seemed more suited to younger children, to be honest.

I only consider the original 3 films actually Star Wars. Everything else has been polluted by greedy shitheads.
