I don't think Hobbs and Shaw will be a billion dollar movie like the last few Fast films. But, I think it can pull in maybe $500-700M worldwide.
The Fate of the Furious actually didn't do that great in the U.S. Only made $226M. I think H&S can probably equal that if not slightly better.

Looks outrageous. I have not watched a F&F flick since the one where they were towing vaults through Brazil.

Damn, this doesn't come out for 6 more months. I didn't realize it was an early August release until they mentioned it during the Super Bowl.

i don't know about this. a super-human man and all the craziness. sure doesn't seem like a F&F movie at all. more like Crank 2. the humor looked good though. really thought this was done by Neveldine and Taylor...

I'm not crazy about the humor either. It seems like they were trying to channel something like The Hitman's Bodyguard. Hopefully it's good though because I also wouldn't mind seeing more F&F movies based in their universe and hopefully they end up racing on the moon or something eventually.

I hope this side-story means when/if another F&F proper comes out, it can go back to its street racing roots.

I'm not saying I don't enjoy these. I do quite a bit for what they are. But I also miss the smaller scale racing story lines we got in 1-4.

This looks fucking bananas.
After eight films that have amassed almost $5 billion worldwide, the Fast & Furious franchise now features its first stand-alone vehicle as Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham reprise their roles as Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw in Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Ever since hulking lawman Hobbs (Johnson), a loyal agent of America's Diplomatic Security Service, and lawless outcast Shaw (Statham), a former British military elite operative, first faced off in 2015’s Furious 7, the duo have swapped smack talk and body blows as they’ve tried to take each other down. But when cyber-genetically enhanced anarchist Brixton (Idris Elba) gains control of an insidious bio-threat that could alter humanity forever — and bests a brilliant and fearless rogue MI6 agent (The Crown’s Vanessa Kirby), who just happens to be Shaw’s sister — these two sworn enemies will have to partner up to bring down the only guy who might be badder than themselves. Hobbs & Shaw blasts open a new door in the Fast universe as it hurtles action across the globe, from Los Angeles to London and from the toxic wasteland of Chernobyl to the lush beauty of Samoa.
Directed by David Leitch (Deadpool 2) from a script by longtime Fast & Furious narrative architect Chris Morgan, the film is produced by Morgan, Johnson, Statham and Hiram Garcia. The executive producers are Dany Garcia, Kelly McCormick, Steven Chasman, Ethan Smith and Ainsley Davies.

Yea probably just saw the whole movie but...I am there. I like the reference to Tango and Cash now thinking of it that way has me more excited. Now sure why I have been resisting this movie.

Less than 4 months until this comes out.
I guess releasing this late summer was a good thing. There is really no major competition in August.

Holy shit that was awesome! Where can I watch this, like, NOW?
So how long before we get Jason Momoa in this series? Seems like a natural fit.
