They really should be setting up some multi film mega villain
Does anyone actually follow the plot that much? I thought their strategy was to bring in washed up action stars. Maybe Sylvester Stallone can be in the next one.
I didn't even really like the trailer, but it will probably still make it past $200M domestic and $1B WW unless the coronavirus situation is still an issue in China 3 months from now.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
I was expecting this to continue the downward trend, but the trailer definitely has some Fast Five vibes. And while losing The Rock will hurt, the rest of the cast seems to be having a better time without him around. I think it’ll open to $95M and close with ~$220M.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
This one will bounce back and top 300m domestic and obviously top $1 billion worldwide.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
Bad Boys mega breakout is a great indicator for this. Feel there's still a big appetite. See $300 m+.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
I don’t see this doing 309m but it will likely gross more than F8.
The Rock will be laughing when this fails and drops below $180mil. Watch Hobbs and Shaw outperform this

Anything is possible but early PS is order of magnitude greater than H&S. Its not even in the same ballpark.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
New trailer:
If Godzilla vs. Kong started the American Cinema Rescue Effort, this is probably gonna be what clinches it. At the current pace of vaccinations we should have the majority of Americans fully vaccinated by the time this opens. I'm pretty confident this will be our first $150M+ grosser since Sonic. Could be our first $225M+ grosser since Rise of Skywalker/Jumanji 2 if the movie is good enough.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
This will probably be my first movie back in theaters and I bet alot of others will be the same.
In The Before Times I’d have this at $110M / $240M ish. Now .. I dunno maybe it can hit $50M opening weekend.
Godzilla v Kong had more hype and accessibility though. So it will all come down to how many more people will be allowed in a single theater. If Fast 9 opened this week I’d have it in the $25-30M range.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
What? The last dropped off big time, this would have continued the trend, I think Hobbs & Shaw, Pandemic, and longer break has helped from being a Pirates 5/ Transformers 5 type of situation, but 8's gross was already heading toward that direction.
No idea where this will go, but it'll land somewhere between Tokyo Drift and 2Fast 2 Furious most likely.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
I don't see the big hype here. The first trailer wasn't big and yes this trailer looks better but nothing that this series hasn't done before. Plus Statham and Johnson are a big loss for this series and Cena never broke into mainstream like those two. If the situation goes back to normal then yes it will out open GvK but with the same situation as today it would do $30m-$35m. Fast is no longer a must see theatrical experience franchise.

Re: F9: Fast Saga predictions
That first trailer got a ton of hype. They lost the Rock and Statham, but having Dom v Cena gives it a Fast Five feeling, and everyone knows that is the best one. Plus, Han and Jordana Brewster are back. Plus they’re going to space. People would’ve turned up.
