The movie was one of the first major releases to get delayed in 2020 at the start of the global pandemic, with the original delay being a whole year, then it recently got delayed another couple of months to July 9th.

The new trailer is the usual Fast and Furious fare with fast cars and Vin Diesel looking moody the whole time.

We also get to see Helen Mirren behind the wheel and she looks as cool as Diesel doing so.

The story has the Fam really coming home for Diesel who's real brother come for payback in the shape of John Cena.

Justin Lin returns as the movies director but the movie may struggle to go over the Billion dollar mark this time in the wake of the global pandemic.

And the end of the trailer does strongly suggest that the series will go into space this time as the series enters the final frontier!

The movie has a July 9th UK release and a June 25th North American release.

With the first quarter of the year over and most of the cinemas closed across the US it a good time to pause for a moment and take a look at the top film during the first 3 months of 2020.

Bad Boys For Life

Twenty five years after the first teaming of Will Smith and Martin Lawrence first hit cinemas the third film in the buddy cop movie beats all expectations.

The movie was a mega smash at US box office with a total gross of $204 Million, and it was still at cinemas before the close down.

1917

The movie was the hot tip to sweep the Oscars this year before everyone decided Parasite was the better film, but it didn't hurt Sam Mandes War Drama at the box office.

The movie was still a hit and pulled in a very good $158 Million at the US box office.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Despite getting a very mixed reaction from the Star Wars hard core, the much hailed end of the saga movie still pulled in the audiences with over $500 Million in the US box office in total.

Bad Boys For Life

It's been 17 years since Will Smith and Martin Lawrence lance teamed up in a Bad Boys movie but it looks like the cinema going public have not forgotten the fun as the movie takes $97.7 Million from 40 countries on its debut.

A fourth movie has already been green lit by Sony and this debut must be giving them a lot of faith and potentially the franchise could go further.

Will Smith has had plenty of hits in the last 17 years but Martin Lawrence hasn't but with Smith's last film Gemini Man bombing at the box office this will be good news for both leads.

1917

Jumanji: The Next Level

The smash hit sequel falls to number 4 this weekend with $26.5 Million from 66 countries which pushes the movies total to $708.4 Million after 7 weeks.

The movie will not go near the $1 Billion mark which its predecessor came so close to crossing.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

The final Star Wars movie in the saga falls to number 5 this weekend with a gross of $19.2 Million from 54 countries.

The movie has passes the $1 Billion mark at the global box office but it is the lowest grossing of the sequel trilogy and is being seen as a failure by Lucasfilms and Disney.
