Furious 7’s mega opening in the US last week is already the biggest since 2013’s The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. This week, the all star action sequel faces a clear week with little opposition besides the Nicholas Sparks’ (The Notebook, Dear John) romantic drama The Longest Ride. Meanwhile in the UK there’s a rush more small openers like legal drama Woman in Gold, war thriller Good Kill, comedy sequel Hot Tub Time Machine 2 and action flick John Wick ahead of the Avengers’ behemoth release.
