Unsurprisingly, the latest installment in the
Fast and Furious
franchise
, titled
F9
in the United States, is a hit.
And the stars of the film are delighted.
According to
Variety
, the new part of the adventures of Dominic Torretto and his "family" have achieved the best weekend since the start of the pandemic, with revenues of $ 70 million in the United States.
He thus pulverizes the previous record holder,
Sans un Noise 2
, which had generated 48 million dollars at the box office on its first weekend.
“I think what makes the most fun is just the idea that people come back to the cinema experience.
It feels good to say: "The cinema is back!"
Vin Diesel told the publication.
Support the rooms
The actor also wanted to salute the commitment of Universal, which did everything to
ensure
that
F9 was released
in theaters and not streamed.
“You can't fault another studio for wanting to stream a movie, but those who, like Universal, are bold enough to say, 'Hey, we're going to support theatrical release,' I take my hat off to them, ' added the star.
Charlize Theron, back after making her franchise debut with the 8th installment, also expressed her enthusiasm for the booming start.
" It's incredible.
Just to think of the fact that they're on their ninth film, it's pretty impressive.
It's a perfect movie to help us come back, ”she said, still at
Variety
.
Fast and Furious 9 will be
released on July 14 in France and will be screened in Cannes.
