It doesn’t get much faster and, er, furiouser than this: the fourth Fast & Furious movie revved up an unbelievable $72.5 million over the weekend, the biggest box office take of the year so far. It’s also more than the previous installment, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, took in during its entire theatrical run. Monsters vs. Aliens hung in there with $33.5 million in the second spot, followed by a steep dropoff to The Haunting in Connecticut, at number three with $9.6 million.
Christina Ricci was born to be a star. But you knew that. You may not have known that Ricci has signed to star alongside Adam Sandler in the “porn-tinged comedy” Born to Be a Star. Per The Hollywood Reporter, “The story centers on a small-town nerd who stumbles upon a family secret: His quiet and demure parents were famous porn stars in the 1970s. This motivates him to leave Northern Iowa for Hollywood, hoping to follow in their footsteps and fulfill his destiny as the biggest adult-film star in the world. Ricci, the female lead, is the guy's innocent girlfriend.”
