"Fast Five" has left the competition in the dust with an $83.6 million debut to grab the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office. Studio estimates released Sunday show Universal Pictures' fifth movie in "The Fast and the Furious" franchise was by far this year's biggest opening. Its debut was more than double the previous best of $39.2 million for "Rio."

A HUGE midnight Thursday and all-day Friday turnout puts “Fast Five” on track to better the last “Fast/Furious” picture’s opening weekend box office take. The last film did $71 million, and deadline.com tracks this one at $80 million. That puts Justin Lin, the director of the recent films in the franchise, in a position to do ...

This week at the movies, we've got speedy autos (Fast Five, starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker), a night to remember (Prom, starring Aimee Teegarden and Thomas McDonell), and a fractured fairy tale (Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil, with voice work from Hayden Panettiere and Patrick Warburton). What do the critics have to say? Action sequels are always mercenary cash-grabs, and by the time a fifth installment hits theaters, any pretension to quality has pretty much evaporated. Right?

Vin Diesel is set to return for a "scaled-back" sequel to Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, it was reported in the trade press today.

The good folks over at Latino Review managed to sneak a look at the script for XXX 3, or as it’s officially known, XXX: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE. After FAST AND FURIOUS, the film marks Vin Diesel’s second comeback to a franchise he abandoned, presumably because he learned the golden Hollywood rule of “if something works once, you can get paid more to do it again.

With the exception of Shane Wolfe from The Pacifier, Vin Diesel's most memorable character was Richard Riddick in Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.

Vin Diesel has shed a little light on what we can expect to see from the next RIDDICK movie. As we know David Twohy is already working on the next installment to the franchise: "We're going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him ... So you'll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive."

FAST & FURIOUS starring Vin Diesel and Paul Walker had its red carpet premiere in Hollywood last night.

Universal Pictures has revealed the full new trailer for Fast & Furious , opening in theaters on April 3. The Justin Lin-directed action-thriller reteams Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordana Brewster.
