NEW YORK (AP) – “Furious 7” had enough gas left in the tank to lead the box office for the fourth straight weekend.

The Universal sequel has dominated the month of April at the box office, but it will soon cede its perch to “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” The Marvel superhero sequel opens in North American theaters Thursday night and has already taken in an estimated $202.1 million internationally.

The Blake Lively fantasy romance “The Age of Adaline” opened solidly with $13.2 million, coming in third behind the Sony comedy “Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2,” which made $14.8 million in its second week of release.

The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theaters Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theater locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by Rentrak:

1. “Furious 7,” Universal, $17,821,440, 3,808 locations, $4,680 average, $320,081,575, 4 weeks.
