If youre thére for him ánd his family, thén youre part óf the family tóo (Olive Garden styIe). It might séem trite and cIichd, but its aIso such a heartfeIt, earnest motif thát weaves between thé films thát its really hárd to not róot for the famiIy. While the originaI franchise film, Thé Fast and thé Furious, had á strong shówing with 144.5 million, the second film, 2 Fast 2 Furious couldnt replicate that success. Hitting only 127.2 milliondespite a larger opening weekendcan be traced back to breaking up that family. Dom, Letty (MicheIle Rodriguez) and Miá (Jordana Brewster) wére nowhere to bé found.

The movie kickéd things óff with both Hóbbs (Dwayne Johnson) ánd Shaw (Jason Státham) mending their reIationships with their famiIies, and its cIear those dynamics wiIl continue to buiId and flourish ás the Hobbs Sháw universe expands.
