Fast & Furious

Vin Diesel's return to the Fast & Furious film franchise is proving to be a big hit with fans - the latest installment has held onto pole position in the foreign box office chart for a second consecutive week.

Fast & Furious raced to the top with takings of $36 million (£24.8 million) outside of the U.S. market, while animated movie Monsters Vs Aliens beamed into second place with $20 million (£13.79 million).

Nicolas Cage's Knowing took third place with $8.4 million (£5.79 million); Zac Efron's 17 Again is at four with $6 million (£4.13 million), and Race to Witch Mountain scored $5.5 million (£3.79 million) to round out the top five in the foreign box office chart.

Fast & Furious is the fourth movie in the franchise and reunites the original cast of Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster for the first time since 2001.

And Paul Walker confirmed that a fifth instalment is aleady underway. Walker said: "It's beyond rumours at this point.

"I've spoken with executives at Universal and they're pretty serious about it. They're developing it. They know where they want it to take place. They want to do it in Europe.

"I'd really want everyone to do their due diligence and put time into it. I don't think it'd be too hard to make the very best one yet. I don't think the best one yet has been made yet."
