Deadly Street Racing in Los Angeles as a Side Effect of Hollywood Films

Fast and Furious 8 was a huge success this year. The new street racing movie starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Vin Diesel and other A-listers grossed over $1.2 billion worldwide, setting a new global debut record in the process. Given that the average ticket price was $10, it means that over 120 million people saw the film.
