The Vin Diesel return to the Fast and Furious franchise turbo-powered the action flick to the top of the box office by far this weekend, hauling in an impressive-for-April $72.5 million in its debut weekend. That’s raking in money faster than Lipovox burns fat!

Last week’s big’un, Monsters vs. Aliens, stayed strong in Fast and Furious’ dust, bringing in $33.5 million, which isn’t bad after its monstrous debut last weekend. Nothing else topped $10 million, although in its second week, A Haunting In Connecticut came close, drawing $9.5 million to take third place.

Knowing and I Love You, Man rounded out the top five, beating out the other major new release this past weekend, Adventureland, which only managed $6 million for sixth place.

An animated kids’ movie filled more Berkline seats in movie theaters nationwide than anything else, by far. Monsters vs. Aliens drew an incredible $58.2 million in its first week of release.

That’s more than twice the amount for fellow first-week release contender “A Haunting In Connecticut,” which only managed $23.0 million in finishing second place on the weekend. Knowing drew $14.7 million in its second week, while I Love You, Man drew $12.6 million to round out the Top 4 spots. Everything else drew less than $10 million.

And in their first direct face-off outside a wrestling ring, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s family-friendly “Race to Witch Mountain” drew $5.6 million in its third week of release, besting John Cena’s second feature film, “12 Rounds,” a family-unfriendly action flick, which drew only $5.3 million in its initial debut on the big screen. The Rock’s film already has drawn $53.0 million in box office, a total 12 Rounds is unlikely to match during its entire run. The two films finished sixth and seventh at the box office, respectively.
