The Fast and
the Furious franchise nearly died here. This movie failed critically and at the
box office. It made $158.5m on an $85m budget, would’ve needed to have made
about $200m to be profitable. I guess the success of the other 2 was enough to
convince Universal to try again with 4, but it could well have died here.
So, what the
hell happened here? Let’s take a look.
