Catch a special eight-week marathon of the Fast and Furious free

The Fast and Furious franchise is right up there for me with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars in terms of my favorite series. With F9 (ahem) fast approaching on June 25, Universal Pictures is prepping fans up with a unique marathon experience with a set of free nationwide screenings of the previous Fast films starting this Friday – April 30.

Over the next eight weeks, you can check out the previous eight Fast Films completely free each Friday. While the timeline of the series is not linear, the films will be screened chronologically so it starts off with The Fast and the Furious on April 30, 2 Fast 2 Furious on May 7, The Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift on May 14 and so on.

The screenings will be held in over 500 US theaters, including AMC Theaters, Regal and Cinemark to start and expand to over 900. Regardless of when a theater joins the program the schedule will remain the same so a theater starting in the fifth week will launch with Fast 5.

“The Fast films are all about family, and Universal wanted to find a way to thank our huge family of Fast fans around the country for their passion and loyalty over the past 20 years,” said Jim Orr, Universal’s President of Domestic Theatrical Distribution, in a statement. “We’re grateful to our theater partners for their help in making this screening series possible and we are delighted to welcome audiences back to theaters to experience the wild Fast ride all over again. And we cannot wait to blow everyone’s minds with the release of F9 on June 25.”
