<p>Where do your find your Worldwide adjusted? On Box Office Mojo I can only get domestic (US) adjusted.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Can't believe that Furious 7 is at 7. Nuts.</p> -

<p>Amazing what can happen when your lead star dies before the release, look what happened with Dark Knight in 2008.</p>

<p>Disney are probably gutted Harrison Ford walked away from his recent plane crash.</p> -

<p>I wonder if those have that much of an effect? The Dark Knight was probably going to be a smash anyway. Ledgers death didn't help Gilliam's movie, and Walker's death didn't help his other movies released recently.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So combo of both I guess, big movies anyway but maybe getting a bump putting them higher than they would.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I guess we'll see with the next Fast and Furious whether it's solely down to Walker's death. More screen time for the Rock can only be a good thing!</p> -

<p>I took to the series after the first couple (Mrs CF loves them). Sure they use a simple formula and the acting is not Oscar but they are well done. Racy cars, racy soundtracks, the movies look cool and they tap in well to pop culture. They don't take themselves too seriously and the ensemble cast are filled with different characters, something for everyone</p> -
