The Fast and Furious franchise will present their 12th movie back to the LA roots. The franchise has been successful since 2001, starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker as the main characters changing the street racing landscape.
Over the past two decades, there have been spin-offs that include featured films like, Hobbs & Shaw and more. Even more spin-offs are making their way in the near future. The most anticipated sequel is Fast & Furious X. Despite their success, they’re looking to make a change to where it all started.
The Chief Content Officer informs people of the trajectory of the franchise and the stakes comparisons. The overall franchise earned over $7.5 billion worldwide with a budget of $1.72 billion. CCO Donna Langley is setting up the new film to have more personal intimate moments and less world-ending threats, even though it makes the movie interesting.
Also, the franchise has removed the culture of street racing and under covers. The changes are necessary as the movies decline, the budget can be expensive if it does not reach enough profits. This new move of bringing it back the LA roots, is in relation to the gross sales from the last Fast and Furious movie that generated $743 million compared to FF7 ‘s $1.5 billion.
All budgets are intended for a return, bringing back the esthetic of the 2001 original could benefit the franchise. The standard for budgets are intended to 2.5x the budget to remain on the positives in growth. Fast Furious X failed to meet their mark. This causes Donna Langley to look for what will work and keep viewers on their seats.
