Well, Furious 7 exceeded the high expectations it had to be a high grossing film this past weekend by obliterating the previous April opening record held by Captain America: The Winter Soldier by $52.5 million.  It also set a high opening gross for 2015, it is very likely that Avengers: Age of Ultron will surpass this number, the question is by how much.  Aside from the big winner at the box office the winner of the fight for leftover audience members went to Home, which did surprisingly well in its second week, pulling in $27 million.  Coming in at third is Get Hard which only managed to pick up $13 million.  The only film that didn’t slip, or wasn’t a newcomer was Cinderella which managed to hang onto the forth position bringing in $10 million in its fourth week, just barely beating out Insurgent.  This brings us to the question we have to ask every week, well, we don’t have to ask it, we choose to ask.  What will happen next week?  My answer, a lot of not very much at all.  The Longest Ride has a very narrow appeal and is likely to open a distant second to Furious 7.
