Happy 15th anniversary Fast & Furious!

Los Angeles  — The Fast and the Furious is speeding back into theaters in the US in celebration of the 15th anniversary of the film that launched the improbable $3.9bn franchise

The 2001 film about East Los Angeles street racers starring Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez and the late Paul Walker was a big box office success, earning over $200 million worldwide, but no one at the time could have imagined its potential longevity. In the years and films since, the franchise has only grown in profitability and audience goodwill.

The most recent, Furious 7, earned over $1.5bn globally in 2015. The eighth film is in production for a 2017 release, with 9 and 10 scheduled through 2021.
