“Furious 7” Still Number 1 at the Box Office

27 Apr, 2015

“Furious 7” had enough gas left in the tank to lead the box office for the fourth straight weekend.

The Universal sequel has dominated the month of April at the box office, but it will soon cede its perch to “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The Marvel superhero sequel opens in North American theaters Thursday night and has already taken in an estimated $202.1 million internationally.

The Blake Lively fantasy romance “The Age of Adaline” opened solidly with $13.2 million, coming in third behind the Sony comedy “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2,” which made $14.8 million in its second week of release.
