Weekend Total, Total Box Office, Weeks Out for the #'s.

 

Fast and Furious has the largest April weekend ever. It also did 50 million better than Tokyo Drift opening weekend which was the last movie in the franchise that came out in 2006.

I was surprised to see Adventureland only finish 6th, then I noticed that it was playing on about half as many screens as F&F.

Knowing is doing a hell of a lot better than I originally guessed.

ADVENTURELAND was a huge let down. I was expecting a totally different movie from what I saw. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. I think the weakest of the Apatow Universe films so far.

While Adventureland was directed by the same guy who did Superbad and features some Apatow regulars, there's no actual involvement by Judd Apatow. I'm seeing it on cheap night on Tuesday. Reviews seem to indicate it's a lot more serious than the trailers make it out to be.

I don't know about others, but the trailers and commercials make it seem like a straight comedy about a teens wacky adventures while working his first job at an amusement park. Don't go in thinking that at all.
