"Furious 7" again raced to the top spot at the box office this weekend.
The latest installment from the Universal Pictures franchise dominated domestic ticket sales with $60.6 million in its second weekend. When factored in with its massive $143.6-million opening, that pushed the film's total to $252 million -- a best for the franchise.
The action film, directed by newcomer James Wan and serving as the final film for the late Paul Walker, showed in 4,022 theaters.
With a whopping $190-million price tag, the film has already crossed the $200-million mark in just eight days -- surpassing the studio's previous record for that milestone, set by "Despicable Me 2" in 11 days.
"Furious 7's" refusal to slow down meant DreamWorks Animation's "Home," with $19 million, landed in second place in its third week while this weekend's romance newcomer "The Longest Ride" roped in the No. 3 spot.
The Nicholas Sparks romancer, starring Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson, brought in $13.5 million from 3,132 locations -- in line with projections.
The 20th Century Fox film, about a rodeo star who romances a college student, cost $34 million to make and did better than the most recent Sparks' adaptation, "The Best of Me," which opened last October to $10 million.
Still, "The Longest Ride" was on the low end of debuts for a Sparks adaptation -- "Safe Haven" took in $21.4 million in its opening, while "The Lucky One" took in $22.5 million.
Also this weekend, "Get Hard," the prison comedy starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, came in fourth place with $8.6 million in its third weekend, while Cinderella" rounded out the top five with $7.2 million. The Disney live-action film has brought in a domestic total of $180.8 million.
