The full cast reunion of the 2001 The Fast and the Furious brought fans racing to theaters this weekend, with Fast & Furious bringing in a whopping $72 million for the box office win. Just after it came Dreamworks' Monsters vs. Aliens, followed by A Haunting in Connecticut and the sci-fi thriller, Knowing (with comic book geek, Nicolas Cage). Paul Rudd's "bromance" comedy, I Love You, Man rounded out the top five.
Fast & Furious proved the best April opening ever, as well as the best opening of 2009 so far. Weirdly, 2003's Anger Management held the record previously. And that movie basically sucked... like all Adam Sandler movies. Yet they're nearly all #1 hits, so maybe it's only weird to me?
Watchmen is still in the top 20, appearing at #13 after five weeks in release. It isn't right to say it bombed, but I did hear someone blew their brains out at a screening.
