Fast X: Part 2
Fast Xhas not been as big a boxful office hit as previousFast & Furiousmovies , butFast & Furious 11can outgross it thanks to numerous factors . Fast Xbrings Dominic Toretto ( Vin Diesel ) up against Dante Reyes ( Jason Momoa ) , who is seek revenge for the death of his father and Dom ’s stealing of jillion from the Reyes home inFast Five . Fast Xis also the first chapter in the unfolding finale to the foresightful - runningFast Saga .
WhileJason Momoa ’s entertainingly goofy performance as Dantehas been the most praise aspect ofFast X , the movie itself has experience a mixed reception , and also become something of a corner government agency dashing hopes . WithFast Xboasting a stupendous $ 340 million budget and hitting video - on - demand platforms just three weeks after open in theatre , Fast X ’s box agency haul is decidedly a bit of a letdown . However , Fast & angry 11is well positioned to outdoFast Xthanks to a combination of factor .
The Rock & Gal Gadot Will Help Fast 11’s Box Office Beat Fast X
The last fewFast & Furiousmovies have see Dom ’s family simultaneously mature and shrink with Modern players joining the dealership and others leaving . The latter account for the extended absence of Gal Gadot ’s Gisele Yashar after her apparent death inFast & Furious 6 , whileDwayne Johnson ’s feud with Vin Dieselwould result in him departing the franchise . WithFast Xbringing both Gadot and Johnson back into the series , Fast & Furious 11can emphasize their respective returns in its marketing .
To be indisputable , Johnson never technically leave theFast Saga , rather but moving into the spin - offFast & Furious Presents : Hobbs & Shaw . Additionally , Johnson seems to be re - recruit the serial somewhat bit by bit with his full tax return to be in a Hobbs spin - off that acts as a bridge betweenFast XandFast & Furious 11 . however , Gisele and Hobbs are both well - likedFast & Furiouscharacters , with Gisele also potential to benefit from Gadot ’s acclaimed portrayal of Wonder Woman . libertine & Furious 11emphasizing " the yield of Gisele and Hobbs " in its selling is likely to be just the hook it involve to out performFast X.
If Fast 11 Really Is The End, That Should Make It Bigger Than Fast X
TheFast Sagais the enviousness of almost every other activity movie franchise with its ongoing run over the course of two decades , specially with the relatively meek beginningThe Fast & the Furiouswas for the serial . At the same time , theFast & Furiousmovies are also known for constantly crowd the scale of measurement of their action scenery to greater levels of outright fatuousness . WithFast X ’s ridiculous legal action scenesculminating in Dom drive his car down a dam , it is have difficult for theFast Sagato keep its sword of daftness . Fast & Furious 11could have the solution in being a lawful oddment for the main serial .
For as ingrained as the concept of escalation is in theFast Saga ’s DNA , it also has long since cease to be a novelty and become an first moment for each newFast & Furiousmovie . By emphasizing itself as a series closing curtain with a " this is the end of the road " style marketing campaign , Fast & Furious 11would instantly position itself as a must - see outcome . couple with the returns of Gadot , Johnson , and Momoa ’s gang - pleasing villain Dante , that would very in all probability be more than enough to pushFast & Furious 11above and beyondFast X ’s box agency operation .
Even If Fast X Is A Hit, It Won’t Get Back To Fast & Furious' Peak
It should be stress that theFast Sagareturning to its heyday withthe release ofFast & ferocious 11is likely a bridge too far . TheFast & Furiousseries famously hit its stride with 2011’sFast Five , whileFast & Furious 6andFurious 7took theFast Sagato even greater box office success , with the latter being the dealership ’s highest earner at $ 1.5 billion . TheFast FivethroughFurious 7era also stand as the disputable mellow point of the enfranchisement ’s general popularity , withFurious 7 ’s emotional send - off for Brian O’Conner ( follow Paul Walker ’s tragic death ) showing just how darling Dom ’s family had become .
Since then , theFast Saga ’s lucre have increasingly decreased with much of the general discourse around it centering on how cartoonishly absurd it has become . BetweenFast Five , Fast & Furious 6 , andFurious 7 , theFast Sagawould capture lightning in a nursing bottle with a sodding blend of action and sentimentality . copy that combination is probably too much to ask ofFast & Furious 11 , but with the superpower of family on its side and most of the family back in the biz , surpassing the box office ofFast Xis very achievable forFast & Furious 11as a true serial finale .
