Nope, this isn’t about my writing technique. This is about Universal Picture’s biggest franchise and, at the time of writing, the eighth highest grossing film series with a combined gross of over $6 billion. What’s it all about? Basically it is a whole franchise based on a live action version of those car racing games that you can play. But think more Grand Theft Auto than Super Mario Cart.
As is the way of the world when it comes to big franchises, there is a huge subsidiary income stream involving toys, theme park rides, video games, animated TV series, soundtrack albums, and spin off films. It is credited with kick starting the careers of Vin Diesel and Paul Walker; Vin Diesel went onto many things up to and including the MCU while Paul Walker, sadly and ironically, died in a car crash.

Personally speaking, it’s not my most favourite of franchises but I struggled to get past the first four films and, apparently, it all starts to take off with the fifth in the series. Maybe I should forgo my usual habit of starting at the beginning and just jump in half way through…

What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Water drinkers unite
Run pee is the best app for people who find themselves needing to pee a lot but also not wanting to miss any action. The app gives you the best times to use the bathroom during a movie while also telling you when to leave and which lines to listen for! It not only gives you the time you should go pee, but it also explains to you what is happening during the break. I helped I use this app every time I go to the movies now. My god father recommended this app to 5 years ago and it’s been in my phone ever since! Highly recommended.
