Chapter 311: Chapter 311: Some Rejoice, Some Lament

Since 1980, there haven't been many racing movies released in North American cinemas. Including "Furious Cars," there have been only 18. The lowest-grossing one was the '89 version of "Catch Me If You Can," which earned a mere $3,686 after screening in only four theaters for one week. The frontrunner is "The Fast and the Furious," which debuted in the summer of '01, with $144 million in North America and $207 million worldwide. The second place goes to 2003's "2 Fast 2 Furious," with $127 million in North America and $236 million worldwide.
