I think it's interesting that you categorize The Wizard of Oz as a "fun" movie. It scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.

Personally I wouldn't compare Oz with Fast and Furious 8, but I'm sure that most kids today would say that this film is superior. That's cool, I get it.

Furious 7 at 67-68 million Friday / 150 OW Possible alfjox Apr 03, 23:20

Ka---CHINNNNNNNNNG! {nm} favrerocks Apr 03, 23:22

I actually buy that. The "Furious" films have an awesome history of overperforming. {nm} VictorY Apr 03, 23:43

they've now revised it to 148...until they revise it again =P {nm} tealfan Apr 03, 23:44

Good reviews, good movie and lotsa buzz. Formula for $ucce$$. {nm} Chateau_du_Mal_Voisin Apr 03, 23:46

Does 150 OW mean what i think it means? 40 in call? (nm) mattep74 Apr 04, 00:06

Yep. {nm} joeoftexas Apr 04, 00:49

Truly amazing that a piece of crap like this can make this much money. Staggering really. goodvibe61 Apr 04, 00:32

Wow. And here I thought I was not a fan of the franchise. Compared to your thoughts, mine are tame. Definitely won't be seeing it though. {nm} Willroast Apr 04, 01:14

Does this mean that you max shorted the OW... ? {nm} Facto Apr 04, 01:26

I think I'll do okay with the weekend numbers. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 08:35

What does the quality of the movie have to do with the box office? Explain that one to me. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:10

Genuine aficionados don't begrudge others their entertainment. These results are great for the industry & for consumers of popular culture. {nm} Qix Apr 04, 03:43

True that. I don't begrudge anyone anything. Obviously I hope everyone goes out and loves this. More power to them. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 08:55

i agree with you on some big hollywood movies, but not this one. where the F&F franchise is different is that 1: they have successfully islander Apr 04, 06:28

I'm sure kids today probably feel like the FF movies are as good as The Godfather. I agree with you about that. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:02

Kids today, grumble grumble! I'm sure most kids in 1972 weren't into The Godfather, and that kids in 1977 thought Star Wars was just as good {nm} Roger More Apr 04, 09:15

LOL! Not grumbling, simply agreeing with the above post. Interesting to compare Star Wars with the FFFF movies though. goodvibe61 Apr 04, 09:28
