Read our privacy policy Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson has thrown shade at spin-off film Hobbs & Shaw after criticising Dwayne Johnson for delaying the main franchise. Now, in an Instagram post he went on to delete, Gibson shared a screengrab of a misleading article headlined: ”Hobbs & Shaw has lowest Fast & Furious box office opening since Tokyo Drift.” Gibson captioned the link with: ”Breaking up the family clearly doesn’t have the value that one would assume it does.” It’s worth pointing out that Hobbs & Shaw knocked The Lion King off the box office top spot around the world and has hauled in global takings of $180m. Cause nothing did happen.” Gibson had been angry that the main Fast & Furious franchise was put on hold due to Johnson’s idea to develop a spin-off surrounding characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw. Gibson, Johnson and Statham's Fast and Furious co-star Michelle Rodriguez later appeared to respond to the criticism with her own post expressing happiness with the spinoff's success.
