Blog post #4 What makes a movie Franchise successful.

  I had the movie The Fast and the Furious. This Franchise was defiantly a success. It started off in 2001 and its still going strong today in 2012. It has various stars in the movie that brings it to life. The stars that appear in the movie are very popular actors already and have taken it to the next level in this franchise. The movie casts Paul Walker, Vin Diesel, and Michelle Rodriguez.  I know that Vin Diesel alone can make a movie do good. According to Monster That Ate Hollywood, a actor can make the movie what it is, without those actors the movie would be nothing. With a production budget of just $38million here is what it made. (according to box office mojo) Total Lifetime Grosses. Domestic: $144,533,925=69.7% and Foreign was 30.3% with $62,750,000. With a world wide gross coming to a shocking $207,283,925. Here is a trailer filled with lots of things that drew tons of people into the theatres on opening day to see the movie. It was a new type of franchise that is exciting, dangerous and fun. It includes street racing mixed in with alot of other business. Check it out (:
