“Fast Five” parked at No. 4, attracting $10.6 million and bringing its total to $186.2 million. In fifth place, “Rio” took in $4.65 million (for a total of $131.6 million).
“Priest 3D” followed close behind in sixth place with $4.6 million. And “Jumping the Broom” came in seventh, garnering $3.7 million.
