    Furious 7 continuous to ride strong


    Furious 7 celebrated a victory lap over the weekend, becoming only the third film ever to make $1 billion internationally and leading the domestic box office for the fourth straight week. Furious 7 could be knocked out with the opening of Avengers: Age of Ultron on May 1, which is expected to earn more than $200 million in its opening weekend.


    Furious 7 topped $1.32 billion in global earnings this weekend, pushing it ahead of Frozen’s $1.27 billion total. That takes Furious 7 at No. 5 on the list of highest grossing movies of all-time, right behind Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which made $1.34 billion.


    Sony Picture’s Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 finished in second place with $15.5 million, bringing its total to nearly $44 million. The PG-rated movie was down just 35 percent from its opening weekend. Blake Lively's The Age of Adaline took third with gross profits of over $13 million.
