The film grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide, making it the third highest-grossing film of 2015 and the fourth highest-grossing film of all time at the time of release. It grossed $397.6 million worldwide during its opening weekend, which was the highest of all-time at the time. Upon release, the film became a critical and box office success, with praise being aimed at the film's action sequences and its emotional tribute to Walker. With an estimated production budget of up to $250 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made.įurious 7 premiered in Los Angeles on April 1, 2015, and was theatrically released in the United States on April 3, exactly six years after the fourth film was released. Principal photography began that September in Atlanta, but was indefinitely suspended in November after Walker's death filming resumed in April 2014 and ended in July, with Walkers's brothers Caleb and Cody standing-in to complete his remaining scenes, causing delay to its 2015 release date with other filming locations including Los Angeles, Colorado, Abu Dhabi, and Tokyo. Casting showed the returns of Diesel and Walker that same month.

In April 2013, Wan, predominantly known for horror films, was announced to direct the film. Plans for a seventh installment were first announced in February 2012 when Johnson stated that production on the film would begin after the completion of Fast & Furious 6. In the film, Dominic Toretto, Brian O'Conner, and the rest of their team have returned to the United States to live normal lives after securing amnesty for their past crimes, until Deckard Shaw, a rogue special forces assassin seeking to avenge his comatose younger brother, puts the team in danger once again. The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker (in his final film role), Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges, Jordana Brewster, Djimon Hounsou, Kurt Russell, and Jason Statham. It is the sequel to Fast & Furious 6 (2013), which serves as the seventh installment in the Fast & Furious franchise. Furious 7 (also known as Fast & Furious 7) is a 2015 American action film directed by James Wan and written by Chris Morgan.
