About the Fast & Furious Franchise
Over the course of ten films that have stoked passion in an
ever-expanding audience and have earned more than $6 billion at the
worldwide box office, Universal Pictures’ record-smashing,
homegrown Fast & Furious Saga has become the studio’s
most-profitable and longest-running franchise. Across social media
platforms, the fan following for the movies and cast has grown into
the biggest of any active franchise. On the heels of The Fate of
the Furious, which debuted in theaters as the biggest global
opening of all time, the blockbuster franchise has expanded to a
multitude of offerings – from toys and video games to an animated
series and the successfully launched spin-off franchise, Hobbs
& Shaw. The tenth chapter in the Fast & Furious Saga
arrives in theaters May 19, 2023.
