The Weekend Box Office Results 4/05/09

The first weekend in April was swept away by “Fast and Furious“. Where the heck did that come from?!?

Making a clean sweep in the number one spot with a cool $72,508,000 take home in the charts, “Fast and Furious” blew the competition away.

The movie stars Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, Paul Walker as Brian O’Conner, Jordana Brewster as Mia Toretto, and Michelle Rodriguez as Letty.

Coming in second place this weekend was last week’s top dog, “Monsters Vs. Aliens“, with $33,510,000. Third place in the chart belonged to “The Haunting In Connecticut” with a nice $9,550,000.

Fourth place was held by “Knowing“, which happens to be the creepiest movie I’ve ever seen. It took home $8,130,000. Rounding off fifth place was “I Love You, Man“, with $7,850,000.

Here’s the “Fast and Furious” trailer:

Wow. Who knew that this movie would be on top? I seriously thought it would be a dud and “Knowing” might creep into the top slot.

According to IMDB, the movie centers around Brian O’Conner as he teams up with Dominic Toretto, after being released from prison. The two of them work with the feds to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation. All that and fast cars, too?
