The car scene is a pretty small niche market of movie goers. Not a big enough crowd to pull in huge box office sales.

1st had a 38 million budget, but it pulled in 206+ million. A number of them had ticket sales about 4-5 times budget (not counting 7 due to paul's death).

Yeah, I also wish they would get back to the cars more than the action. They aren't ex-green berets with training or anything. They are a bunch of raggedy street racers who robbed semi-trucks. Its not like they were even world class racers. Wow, you beat Ja Rule in his 98 Integra, I bet you could take on a private military force no problem.
Of all the movies I tend to rewatch the first two the most. There mora about cars and just entertaining because they weren't trying to be action heroes.

So who's going to go to the theater to see the original on the 22nd for the 15 year anniversary?

I'm picturing the parking lots of movie theaters now during that showing.

I'm imagining a lot of cars that look like the rear suspension is broken will be there.

I still have an unused ticket from the original. Great movie. I put it second to only Predator.
I would love to go see the rerelease.
