The Franchise Installment That Will Make a Billion Dollars
Fast X
In theaters now
Like Mission: Impossible 7, this tenth installment of the $6.6 billion-grossing street-racing series is also a part one: “The beginning of the end of the road,” as Fast X’s trailer promises (with the franchise-concluding part two scheduled to drop in 2025). Unlike any previous entry in Cruise’s M:I oeuvre, however, the chronically underestimated Fast & Furious films have already crossed into three-comma territory twice before: 2015’s Furious 7 grossed $1.5 billion worldwide, and its immediate follow-up, The Fate of the Furious, took in $1.2 billion. Moreover, with a packed cast that pits new arch-villain Jason Momoa against Vin Diesel, Fast X continues the tradition of multicultural representation that has proved to be the secret sauce of the franchise’s success. Perhaps most crucially, the Louis Leterrier–directed F&F entry has been cleared by government authorities for distribution in China, the world’s biggest movie marketplace, while M:I has not.
