Weekend box-office – 25th of April to 1st of May 2015 – will Furious 7 win its third lap?

The star studded action sequel Furious 7 has broken the record for the quickest film to surpass the billion dollar mark and is now entering its third weekend box office. The competition this week includes comedy sequel Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and horror flick Unfriended. Last week, we predicted that Furious 7 would win but let’s find out what’ll really go down.

US:

  1. Fast & Furious 7 – Director: James Wan – $29.2 million
  2. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 – Andy Fickman – $23.8 million
  3. Unfriended – Levan Gabriadze – $15.8 million
  4. Home – Tim Johnson – $10.6 million
  5. The Longest Ride – George Tillman Jr – $7 million

UK:

  1. Fast & Furious 7 – James Wan – £3 million
  2. Cinderella – Kenneth Branagh – £1.1 million
  3. Home – Tim Johnson – £0.9 million
  4. Child 44 – Daniel Espinosa – £0.5 million
  5. Woman in Gold – Simon Curtis – £0.4 million

Fast & Furious’ reign continues while the week’s biggest loser is Child 44, a Soviet-set thriller starring Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman. It was one of the year’s most anticipated and yet it’s already been deemed a commercial and critical bomb. This week we’ve scored 4/10. Here’s next week’s predictions as what may be the year’s biggest financial hits

US:

  1. The Age of Adaline – Lee Toland Krieger
  2. Fast & Furious 7 – James Wan
  3. The Water Diviner – Russell Crowe
  4. Paul Blart: Mall Cop – Andy Fickman
  5. Unfriended – Levan Gabriadze

UK:

  1. The Avengers: Age of Ultron – Joss Whedon
  2. Fast & Furious 7 – James Wan
  3. Cinderella – Kenneth Branagh
  4. Home – Tim Johnson
  5. Child 44 – Daniel Espinosa

Ludacris, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson and Vin Diesel in Fast & Furious 7, this week’s US and UK number one.
