6 Lessons Hollywood Needs to Learn From ‘The Fast & The Furious’

"Fast & the Furious 6" is widely expected to dominate the Memorial Day box office and potentially become the highest grossing film in the lucrative franchise's history.

For a franchise keep growing as it enters its second decade and sixth installment is nearly unheard of in Hollywood, where sequels tend to burn hot and fast, dying out quickly. Yet Universal Studios has adroitly managed the car racing series by tapping into international markets, catering to under-appreciated moviegoing audiences and recognizing the power of Diesel fuel -- Vin Diesel that is.

Also read: 'Fast & Furious 6': Why Embracing Diversity and Social Media Created the Model Movie Franchise

Here are six takeaways from the "Fast & the Furious" franchise's success for rival studios trying to engineer their own box office Maserati's.

Vin Diesel Is an A-Lister, Get Used to It

He may not wield the clout or boast the magazine covers of a Depp or a Pitt or a Smith, but make no mistake, Diesel is a star. After getting lost on the C-list in the mid-aughts and seeing his once white-hot career fizzle out with bombs like "Find Me Guilty" or artistic embarrassments like "The Pacifier," Diesel cannily returned to the franchise that made him a powerhouse with 2009's "Fast & Furious."

In the process, he helped the series consistently build its audience with each new film, allowing the franchise to gross nearly $1.6 billion globally. With this September's "Riddick," Diesel will see if he can revive another of his action franchises that has run out of steam. If he can pull it off, that will give him two massive tentpole roles in his quiver. Few actors other than Robert Downey Jr. with "Sherlock Holmes" and "Iron Man" can match that kind of track record.

The U.S. Is Nice, But Foreign Countries Are King

Though "The Fast & The Furious" started out as a depiction of L.A. street racing, few franchises  have done a better job of embracing the global marketplace. Starting with 2006's "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," the third film in the franchise, the series has traipsed around the globe, conveniently stopping in many of the movie business' most important emerging markets. Along the way, the crew of car racers and thieves have evaded the law in exotic settings like Brazil, Mexico and, in the latest iteration, Spain and the United Kingdom.

With 70 percent of box office revenue coming from abroad, an international flavor is no an longer exotic icing on any big-budget confection. It's an essential ingredient to making the sprawling community of moviegoers feel like they are watching their dreams and lives reflected back to them on the big screen.

The reward for this cosmopolitanism? "Fast & Furious 6" is off to a white-hot start at the foreign box office; its opening in the U.K. and Ireland last Friday gave Universal the studio's biggest opening day ever in that market with $4.6 million. "Fast Five," the previous film in the franchise, more than doubled the largest foreign gross in the franchise's history and most box office analysts predict the latest adventure will eclipse the last film's $416 million international take.

Newsflash! Latinos Go to Movies

Latino audiences have pushed "The Fast & The Furious" series into rarified blockbuster terrain. Thanks to stars like Michelle Rodriguez, and a healthy amount of Spanish dialog, the films have gone out of their way to court this too often neglected demographic.

Pay heed studios! Latinos represent just 17 percent of the U.S. population, yet account for 26 percent of ticket sales, according a study by the Motion Picture Association of America. In the case of "Fast Five," catering to this crowd resulted in a monster turnout, with Latinos representing 33 percent of its opening weekend U.S. audience.

...Oh, And So Do Women

Casting women as more than scantily clad helpmates and arm candy has further broadened "The Fast & The Furious" franchise's appeal.

Women represent 51 percent of the U.S. population and 52 percent of the moviegoing public, but according to a 2012 study by the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film at San Diego State University, only 11 percent of the protagonists in top grossing films are female.

Yes, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker are the top-billed stars in the series, but what's refreshing about "Fast & Furious 6" is that Rodriguez and co-star Gina Carano have roles that are integral to the action. In fact, Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Universal Pictures co-president of production, told TheWrap that the most recent "Fast" film is the highest testing among women.

He added that the on-screen throw down between Rodriguez and Carano is a key selling point of the film and "trumps" the fight between Diesel and Dwayne Johnson that was a heavily promoted part of "Fast Five."

Don't Idle at the Starting Line

Beginning with the fourth film in the series, 2009's "The Fast & the Furious," Universal has rigidly adhered to a release schedule of one "Fast" picture every two years. The studio is accelerating the schedule with "Fast & the Furious 7," which will roar into theaters in 2014, roughly a year after the sixth film was unleashed on the summer box office.

At CinemaCon, the annual exhibition trade show in Las Vegas, Diesel told theater owners that the studio was able to rush into production on a follow-up to "Fast & the Furious 6" because they had carefully mapped out a direction for the series. In a digitally connected age where platforms like Twitter and Facebook have intensified the rate at which entertainment and media is anticipated, consumed and discussed, it is critical that studios move nimbly to exploit buzz before this morning's hot thing become that afternoon's tired idea.

Allow a Director to Grow With a Franchise

Justin Lin didn't have the kind of CV that would instantly make a studio feel comfortable about handing over the keys to one of its crown jewel franchises.

When Universal tapped the UCLA grad to inject new life into the "Fast" series, Lin was best known for the Sundance breakout "Better Luck Tomorrow" and the James Franco bomb "Annapolis." But whatever studio executives saw Taiwanese-born director has allowed the series to reach new heights.

Under Lin, the four "Fast" films he has directed have grown more global in scope, more financially successful, more technically audacious and more critically acclaimed. The decision to move up production on "Fast & the Furious 7," so it can open next year, means that he will have to yield the director's chair to James Wan ("Saw"), but studio executives and producers tell TheWrap that after the success of the "Fast" movies, Lin can write his own ticket.

"He's on the A-list," a rival studio executive enthused. "If he wants to do a Bond film, he can. If he wants to do a Chris Nolan-type 'Inception' movie or a smaller personal movie, he can. Everyone wants to work with him."

How an Extreme Movie Makeover Saved ‘Fast & Furious’ From Going Direct to DVD

"Fast & Furious 6" has become a road race to riches without a finish line in sight.

Roaring into theaters Friday, the movie is expected to generate $80 million or more over the Memorial Day weekend -- astounding numbers for a franchise that is more than a decade old, and isn't "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones."

Even more astonishing, Universal's "Fast" films are the rare series that seem to pick up steam with each new sequel. And with its multi-ethnic cast and foreign settings, it's been hailed as a model for how to build a franchise that can appeal to audiences across the globe.

Also read: 6 Lessons Hollywood Needs to Learn From 'Fast & Furious'

But what is lost in all the hype is that the cars and criminals series almost sputtered to a stop before it could kick off its latest victory lap, with some at Universal fretting the series had run out of gas after its first two installments: The studio even considered releasing sequels on DVD without a theatrical run. 

Instead of throwing the race, Universal decided to give the films a new look and direction -- with a crucial assist from original series star, Vin Diesel.

"The talk internally was that the franchise was played out," Jeffrey Kirschenbaum, Universal Pictures co-president of production, told TheWrap. "At that point we were weighing whether to go straight to video or not for future sequels. We weren't sure what we were going to do."

The makeover returned the series to its heist roots and played down the underground street racing scenes that had dominated the second and third installments.

After the original cast was jettisoned and the action moved to Japan in "The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift, the movie still tested respectably with audiences despite all the changes. Yet Universal felt that the sequel needed more pop.

To that end, Universal Chairman Adam Fogelson and Co-Chairman Donna Langley prevailed upon Diesel to return to the series that helped make him a star, if only for a fleeting cameo. The response from preview audiences to his few minutes of screen time was electric, Kirschenbaum recalls.

"It was like a rock concert," he said. "The audience went ballistic."

Also read: 'Fast & Furious 6' Review: Bypasses Logic and Drives Straight to the Pleasure Center

Kirschenbaum said that the reaction gave Universal the confidence to effectively reboot the series with its original crew of racers, cops and thieves including star Paul Walker. At the same time, the studio decided to drill down into those elements that set it apart from summer blockbusters headlined by white males, namely a cast that included Asian, African-American and Latino actors like Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, Michelle Rodriguez and Sung Kang.

"We're the Benetton of casting," Kirschenbaum said. "We're one of the few franchises that has Spanish spoken throughout it."

The result is a cast that looks like many of today's moviegoers -- social media savvy, ethnic and frequently bilingual.

The new strategy reached its apotheosis with "Fast Five," which added Dwayne Johnson to mix, set the film in Rio and drew more than $632 million worldwide, nearly $270 million more than what the next highest grossing film in the franchise had netted. Internationally the film continued to pick up steam, more than doubling the previous high-water mark for foreign grosses on a "Fast" film.

"They have done a brilliant job of managing and expanding this franchise with a principle for international success -- set it exotic, make it erotic," Bill Block, founder and CEO of the film production company QED International, said.

Analysts predict that "Fast & Furious 6," which exports the action to the United Kingdom and the Canary Islands, could top them all and gross more than $700 million globally.

"They've managed to make each movie better than the last," Kevin Goetz, chief executive office of the movie market research firm Screen Engine, told TheWrap. "Each sequel feels cool and distinctive and that's rare. I've worked on a lot of franchises that just simply diminish with each film. With 'Fast' they seem to be re-imagining the series with every installment."

The studio's inclusive approach to casting has turned out to be smart business: Latinos make up 17 percent of the population in the United States and Canada, but comprise 26 percent of ticket buyers, according to a recent study by the Motion Picture Association of America.

Moreover, the movie business grows more globalized each year with foreign markets accounting for 70 percent of the overall box office, making the "Fast" franchise's international approach the envy of other studios.

"Fast Five" was able to target the Latino community, which represented 33 percent of its U.S. audience. With the return of Rodriguez, Universal hopes to pull off a similar opening for "Fast & Furious 6." To aid the cause, a Spanish-speaking Diesel presented footage from the film at the Billboard Latin Music Awards.

"Their marketing never feels like pandering; Latinos go to the 'Fast' movies because they're included," Alex Nogales, president and CEO of the advocacy group, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, told TheWrap. "When you look at this kind of attendance, we hope that studios will become emboldened and it will serve as a lesson to filmmakers about what the Latino moviegoing public can do."

The "Fast" films have also outraced the pack with social media outreach on Facebook and Twitter. Universal said it gave "Fast & Furious 6" the largest social media campaign for any film in its history, successfully building its digital support group from five million Facebook fans when "Fast Five" opened in 2011 to 34 million fans to date. 

The cast itself as played the important role as ambassadors for the series, regularly tweeting about the film and interacting with fans. It helps that Diesel boasts 42 million Facebook "likes" on his official page, while Johnson has attracted over 4 million followers on Twitter.

Online feedback has influenced the films, too. Fan requests on Twitter and Facebook led the "Fast" team to revive Rodriguez's character after she had apparently been killed off in the fourth film and helped spur Universal's decision to accelerate shooting on the next film. Now, part seven will hit theaters in 2014 instead of slogging through the standard multi-year hiatus between "Fast" productions.

According to Kirschenbaum, the most frequent feedback it receives is desire for less lag time between installments: He said fans keep saying after the release of each "Fast" film, "we want to see the next movie right now, we don't'want to wait."

Even rival producers tip their hats to the "Fast" franchise. J.C. Spinks, the executive producer of "We're the Millers" and  "The Hangover III," which goes up against "The Fast & The Furious 6" at the box office this weekend, praised the series' longevity and the producers' push to keep topping themselves.

"It's a well-oiled machine," he said. "A lot of movie franchises get to three. Not to many get to six."

E!’s ‘The Wanted Life’ Preview: Scooter Braun Stages an Intervention (Video)

Boy bands will be boy bands.

That's what music manager Scooter Braun is dealing with in a new video preview from The Wanted's upcoming E! reality show.

Braun famously manages boy musical wonder Justin Bieber, as well as pop stars Psy and Carly Rae Jepsen.

So, when he tells the boys that "you guys show up saying 'My voice is gone, because I went out last night' more than any group I've ever seen," Braun definitely has a point of reference and a pretty good example.

Apparently, the guys showed up drunk to their appearance at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In a second clip from the unscripted show produced by Ryan Seacrest Productions, Scooter Braun Projects and Global Talent TV, the boys get to work with one of the most sought after songwriters in the music business,  Wayne Hector.

"The Wanted Life," which follows the guys as they prep for their U.S. and European tours, premieres Sunday, June 2 at 10 p.m./9c.

Olivier Assayas will direct "Hubris"-- the first time the award-winning French filmmaker will make a movie in the U.S., producers CG Cinema, Bluegrass Film, Emjag Productions and Film360 announced on Wednesday. Assayas directed "Irma Vep" and the widely praised miniseries "Carlos" about international terrorist Carlos the Jackal.

He will shoot this movie in 2014 , after he completes "Sils Maria."

Developed with Orange Studios and Frederiqur Dumas, the project brings together several prominent American producers. Scott Stuber's Bluegrass has made recent comedy hits "Ted" and 'Identity Thief," while Emjag's Alexandra Milchan is executive-producing the Martin Scrosese's upcoming "Wolf of Wall Street."

Film 360, the production arm of talent management company Management 360, is producing the upcoming Steve Jobs biopic being written by Aaron Sorkin.

Cannes: Sundance Selects Takes Award-Winning Filmmaker's 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' 

Sundance Selects has acquired domestic distribution rights to "Blue Is the Warmest Color," the latest film from award-winning Tunisian filmmaker Abdellatif Kechiche, the company announced on Wednesday.

Kechiche's film stars Lea Seydoux, one of the most promising young actresses out of France who has both won awards in her native country and starred in well-received English-language films like "Inglorious Basterds" and "Midnight in Paris."

The film chronicles a precocious teenage girl named Adele, who wants to find her true love and believes she has when she meets Thomas. Yet her relationship with Thomas ends before it really begins, and Adele soon discovers that she is attracted to women. So begins a tryst with a blue-haired woman.

Kechiche and Ghalya Lacroix co-wrote the film, which made its premiere in competition at the Cannes Film Festival this week. Sundance Selects sister label IFC Films distributed Kechiche's last film, "Secrets of the Grain," which won several Cesar Awards, the top honor in France.

"Abdellatif Kechiche has made a stunning and provocative drama with two breakout performances.  We are excited for the opportunity to work with him and our friends at Wild Bunch again," Sundance Selects/IFC Films president Jonathan Sehring said in a statement.

The "Chronicle" star carries the chaotic narrative portion of the upcoming 3D IMAX concert film written and directed by Nimród Antal ("Predators"). According to the synopsis, DeHaan plays a Metallica roadie who is sent on a mission during the band's performance in front of a sold-out arena.

Hammond On Cannes: Robert Redford’s Brave New Role Wows Fest But He Can’t Win

Robert Redford may not be eligible for any awards at Cannes this year where his new film, All Is Lost premiered to strong response out of competition on Wednesday night, but if the reaction on the Croisette was any indication, he could be headed for the Oscars. The film, in which Redford is the only actor playing a man stranded at sea when his sailboat springs a huge leak, is a tour de force for the star and it won a 9-minute standing ovation at its debut tonight. Even the return of the rain that has plagued this festival could not put a damper on the mood of the filmmakers, Universal International (releasing overseas) and Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions (releasing domestically on October 18th). It is clearly an awards season play, not only for Redford in a role unlike any he has played but also Oscar nominated writer/director J.C. Chandor (Margin Call) who proves his first film was no fluke and shows a remarkable ability to pull off this one-man show with real filmmaking skill.Most reviews that came in after the afternoon press screening were very upbeat, making it even more of a head-scratcher as to why this film wasn’t put in competition. Redford certainly would have given the top notch list of Best Actor contenders ... Read More »

Jennifer Aniston doesn't just take off her clothes for money in the Warner Bros. comedy "We're the Millers," she strips to save her faux family's lives, too.

The new red band trailer for the R-rated release, hitting theaters Aug. 9, teams a pot-dealing Jason Sudeikis with Aniston, his exceptionally attractive stripper neighbor, and two misfit teens played by Will Poulter and Emma Roberts. The foursome goes undercover, posing as a family vacationing south of the border, in order to pick up a large shipment of marijuana.

Aniston, no stranger to showcasing her fit physique for the sake of comedy, puts her character's talent to the test when armed drug dealers demand she strip to prove she's not actually a mom on vacation.

And the trailer doesn't just showcase the female anatomy. A bloated pair of spider-bitten testicles made the cut, too.
