Fast and Furious is #1 with $72.5 million

The weekend was the busiest on record for April, grossing an estimated $185 million and surging 65% ahead of the same weekend last year. Fast and Furious had the highest grossing opening for a car themed movie (beating Cars' $60.1 million) and was #1 for a straight forward action picture (as opposed to the superhero or fantastical kind), surpassing The Bourne Ultimatum's $69.3 million.
