_Furious 7_ stayed parked in the [box office’s top spot](http://time.com/3772380/furious-7-universal-box-office/ "undefined") for the second weekend in a row, adding $60.6 million in U.S. theaters for a total of $252.2 million.
The film is one of only a dozen to score more than $60 million in its domestic box office sales in the second weekend, according to Box Office Mojo. See how it stacks up against other films that smashed the box office in their second weekend:
It’s no surprise that _Furious 7_ is the _Fast & Furious_ film that scored the franchise’s biggest second weekend at the box office after its debut weekend smashed several records. But _Furious_ _7’s_ second weekend is also notable for how it managed to drop by only 59%—a testament to how its ahead-of-summer release has kept it away from heavyweights like _Avengers: Age of Ultron_, which hits theaters on May 1.
Last, _Furious 7_ is on track to be Universal Pictures’ biggest hit ever, with _Furious 7_ being the studio’s biggest opening and second weekend. Many attribute the success to [Universal’s diverse casting and filming locations](http://time.com/3772166/furious-7-box-office-diversity/ "undefined"), which is linked to a strong North American turn-out among many minority groups. See how _Furious 7_‘s second weekend stacks up against other Universal films:
As for the rest of the box office, _Variety_ [reports](http://variety.com/2015/film/news/box-office-furious-7-dominates-competition-with-60-6-million-1201470903/ "undefined"), _Home_ came in second place with $19 million, _Get Hard_ took in $8.6 million and _Cinderella_ nabbed $7.2 million.
