I have a feeling if they made Airplane 2 today, the poster on the wall would not be Rocky 38, it would be Fast and the Furious 526. Will this series ever end?
I would see this. Honestly, the comment about Tom Cruise is way off base. I mean, I get it, their going to have a ridiculously stupid space launch in Fast 9. Whatever. Tom Cruise is actually going to film a movie in space. That's a whole other level of commitment. F&F series is just a never ending game of one-upmanship on how far they can push "stunts," a lot of which aren't even real. Tom Cruise goes full-bore and does the real thing.
its a reminder, i like to feel, that Fast Five, was the turning point, milestone, in the series, franchise, it was the film that made the series, franchise, last this long or extend this far, it's what introduce it to a new audience, brought in new fans.
If they just charged $15-20 to stream it they'd make their money back now rather than letting it sit collecting dust. There's probably a lot of people that would go see it in the theater once this whole pandemic situation in solved too, so it's not like the theater money would be completely untappable.
Maybe in this one they'll explain how a group of punk kids that were into street racing somehow all turned into secret agent types that have super strength, world class fighting skills, and computer genius intelligence lol.
could be a distribution agreement that's preventing them from releasing on streaming. AMC and Warner had some disputes with Tenet going to streaming.
Yeah we all got to keep in mind that these films have contracts that dictates if they can be allowed to skip cinemas or not, i mean this was the issue with New Mutants, skipping cinemas was not an option because contracts Fox did stated the film had to be released on cinemas no matter what.
