Fast & Furious 7 has made it a month at the top of the U.S. box office - it has also become the fifth highest grossing movie of all time.

The movie took over $18 million this weekend to hold off the challenge from Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 and new entry The Age of Adeline, to make four weeks as the #1 film in the U.S.

So far, the movie has grossed over $1.3 billion at the global box office and has now surpassed Frozen to become the fifth highest grossing movie of all time. However, it is unlikely that Fast 7 will make it five weeks at the top, as Avengers: Age of Ultron is set to be released in the U.S. on Friday.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 was another none-mover at two, while The Age of Adeline was the highest new entry in at number three. The movie marks the return of Blake Lively to the big screen, in what is her first film since Savages back in 2012.

Home remained at number four this week, while Unfriended was down two places from three to round off the top five this week.

Ex Machina enjoyed a huge jump over the weekend as it leapt from fifteen up to number six - it was the only movie on the rise. The Longest Ride was down two at seven, while Get Hard was also a two place faller at eight.

Monkey Kingdom and Woman In Gold were both also down two places this weekend as they dropped from seven and eight to nine and ten.
