That's right,I saw it this morning at 10 am in Barrington. The price of a bargain ticket is 6.58???
Why not just make it 6.60? Anyway,first time I have seen a movie since last June. A pretty crowded theater for 10 AM.

REVIEW: I loved the first movie. I thought it was a really cool movie. The longer this series has continued,the bigger the separation from reality. I thought they really started to lose it in the last one but this new entry makes FF6 look like a documentary. I'm not going to give anything away here,suffice it to say the "loving Bro" looks are here and so is the talk of family among one of the dumbest story lines I have ever seen in any action movie of this type. I guess that stuff should bother me,but I don't care. I loved this movie. The stunts and fight scenes are great even though "Mano e Mano" stuff once again suffers from the "quick edit" technique prevalent in so many action movies of today.

I give it 3 out of 4 plates of pasta. A great way to start off the summer movie season!!

So this is in the "Stupid Fun" style of movie.
Kind of how I feel about Under Siege. That movie was so awful that it was good.
Plus.... TITTIES!

Saw this Thursday night. I have never seen any of these films. My gf wanted to see it. I thought it was pretty good, and a decent tribute to Paul Walker at the end. Really hope the rumors of doing one or 2 more are false.

Furious 7



April 4, 2015

Furious 7 opened to a stunning $67.3 million on Friday, which puts it on track to earn close to $150 million over the three-day weekend.

That opening day ranks 10th all-time, and is on par with The Hunger Games and The Dark Knight. It's up 74 percent on Fast & Furious 6, which was the previous best debut in the 14-year-old franchise. In a single day, Furious 7 has already earned more than the third installment in the franchise (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift) grossed during its entire run.

The big question now is how well the movie holds up on Saturday and Sunday. Reviews are good, and word-of-mouth is strong ("A" CinemaScore), though this is also part of a franchise that's notoriously front-loaded. The low-end forecast is around $135 million, which would be double the Friday number; on the high end, it would play like Captain America: The Winter Soldier and wind up with nearly $180 million.

Vin Diesel walked from these movies until he found out that's all he has got is this franchise. He now has a producer credit,so he is bringing in millions.
