Furious 7 races ahead
LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) — Even in its debut weekend, Kevin James’s Paul Blart sequel couldn’t outpace Furious 7.
The reigning box office champion might have slowed from its blockbuster debut, but Furious 7 maintained first place for the third weekend in a row with an estimated US$29.1 million, according to box office tracker Rentrak yesterday.
This brings the high-octane action movie’s domestic total to a staggering US$294 million, well above the US$202.8 million that Fast & Furious 6 had earned at the same point in the cycle in 2013. The film crossed the US$1 billion mark Friday.
