“Fast X” began its domestic box office sprint on Thursday with $7.5 million. That’s slightly above the $7.1 million earned by “F9” in June of 2021 during its Thursday previews.
If “Fast X,” which pits Vin Diesel and friends/family against a gleefully vengeful psychopath played by Jason Momoa, legs like its immediate predecessors (“Fate of the Furious” opened with $99 million from a $10.4 million Thursday in April of 2017), it’ll end the weekend with $71-$73 million.
A slightly more optimistic path would be akin to “Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw,” which earned $59 million in August of 2019 from a $5.8 million Thursday gross, which would equal $76 million for the latest installment.With mixed-negative reviews (55% fresh and an average critic score of 5.7/10 on Rotten Tomatoes) heading into the weekend, there’s not a lot of hope for otherwise disinclined moviegoers to make the choice to check out the Louis Leterrier-directed actioner on a lark over the weekend.
While “mixed” pretty much defines the critical consensus over the years for this 22-year-old franchise, the series had been on a critical winning streak from “Fast Five” (78% fresh with many calling it a new action classic) in 2011 all the way through “Hobbs & Shaw” (which still managed a 68% fresh, meaning 68% of the critics thought it was at least “fine, whatever”) in 2019.
