C'mon guys, be fair. We all know of so many Oscar winners that involve bringing a dead character back to life with "she's not really dead and also has amnesia."

It won't happen. People talk about the Oscars not being relevant, but they're really only not relevant if you're expecting everything to be in the 18-39 age bracket of interest. They're much more relevant as you skew closer to the age of most Oscar voters.

Just like in Black Moon Rising.

Vin crazy. I do wonder if it has a chance at Avengers' opening week record though.
I love these movies but no way that's happening. I don't think the series has ever had an opening weekend bigger than a 100 million. Also no 3D release that could help the numbers.

I think this thing'll clear 100 mil over the 3 day. Easter might put a dent in Sunday a little, but I can see this thing doing over 100mil, and if it's as fucknuts crazy-entertaining as people keep saying it is, I could see word of mouth getting it over 300mil domestic.

As long as it bankrolls another Chronicles of Riddick film, I don't care what he thinks.

The Rock needs to make enough to bankroll a Rundown 2, as well.

I agree. I think current projections are saying it could have a 115 million opening. I'm just saying it won't get a 200 million opening weekend like The Avengers.

Don't sell this franchise short.

Also, I think it's fair to say Fast & Furious does the 'team of badasses kick evil badasses ass while being badass' thing better than fucking Avengers with their 'LOOK AT US, WE'RE QUIPPING' bollocks.

I don't think he's really serious. He seems to have that very dry sense of humor, so just by reading that I take away that he's joking and a very sarcastic way. If he isn't, he might be a wee bit delusional.

Am I the only one who laughed near uncontrollably reading the OP. Diesel is fine tuning his trolling skills. He does good work.
