Box Office: “Furious” sucks in the cash worldwide, “Ride” opens at $13

boxoffice“Furious 7,” which could and should be the last “Fast/Furious” film — added as much as $60 million to its take on its second weekend, and is cleaning up in China and some other foreign markets. Deadline.com is saying $800 million so far. Ouch.

Sucks all the oxygen out of the April box office, with “Home,” the lone animated kids’ offering, holding down second place (It will clear $130 million Monday) and “The Longest Ride” the latest Nicholas Sparks adaptation opening at just over $13 million.

“Cinderella” may yet hit $200 million for Disney, and now stands at $180.

“Woman in Gold” added a LOT of theaters and climbed up the top ten, and “It Follows” lost a few and took a dive. “Gold” might yet stick around long enough to become a hit. It’s over $11–needs to clear $20-25 to calls its run a respectable one.

“While We’re Young” added theaters and cracked the top ten for the first time.
