I'm watching all 5 of them to get ready for the new one this week, I just finished the second one. I forgot how crappy it was. I've never seen 4 and 5 so I'm excited to watch those!

I think I'm seeing this on Tuesday w/ my sister. Looks like it's going to have huge BO #'s though! Stupid move to release Hangover 3 on the same weekend.
In a super-charged, record-setting Memorial Day weekend, Universal’s “Fast and Furious 6″ sped to No. 1 with a boffo estimated $122.2 million four-day opening, lapping second place entry, Warner Bros.’ “The Hangover Part III,” which grossed a softer-than-expected $63.4 million in five.
Internationally, “Fast and Furious” nabbed first place debuts in all of its 59 markets, estimating $158 million in three days.
Domestic four-day totals reached a whopping $315 million for the industry, easily surpassing 2011′s Memorial Day weekend record of $296 million.
“Fast and Furious,” which scored the biggest domestic and international bows for Universal, ranks as the fourth-highest Memorial Day opening ever behind “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End” ($139.8 million), “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” ($126.9 million) and “X-Men: The Last Stand” ($122.9 million) — and during an intensely competitive weekend, during which “Hangover III” attracted a very similar audience.
“Everybody’s efforts to keep their finger on the pulse of what the hell is going on with this franchise were phenomenal,” said Universal distribution prexy Nikki Rocco, who added that the film played extraordinarily well throughout the South and across the Midwest.
