Thursday Night Previews: Are Hobbs and Shaw having a Falling Out with Moviegoers?

August 2, 2019

Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw

Fast and Furious Presents: Hobbs and Shaw started its box office run with just $5.8 million on Thursday night. That’s not enough. I wasn’t expecting it to reach the same heights at the most recent installments in the Fast and the Furious franchise, as different release dates have different potentials when it comes to previews. However, I was expecting it to earn more than $6 million Mission: Impossible—Fallout earned roughly this time last year. The film’s reviews are good enough that it’s legs shouldn’t be an issue, but this start is worrying. Hopefully it will perform better tonight and reach its full potential over the weekend.
