Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Fast & Furious' $626 million hit helped save the movie series, but in the process, it also somewhat doomed the franchise. Over two decades after they started, Fast & Furious' main movies are finally concluding, but the franchise remains a Hollywood juggernaut.
While the previous entries performed well at the box office, Fast Five was the franchise's first major box office hit. Fast Five is often regarded as one of the best movies in the series, which makes its strong financial performance unsurprising. It became the first Fast & Furious movie to make over $500 million, totaling $626 million at the box office from a $125 million budget.
Since Fast Five , Fast & Furious has had two movies make over $1 billion, proving that the saga had to continue. Changing Fast & Furious' original concept was the only way the franchise could adapt and survive, which Fast Five perfectly achieved. The movie's iconic heist scene still featured cars, as did much of the film's action, yet it also included more traditional gun fights and brawls. This allowed the series to reach new heights and proved that while cars can still be part of Fast & Furious' core identity, the movies don't have to function solely around them.
