The adrenaline-fueled blockbuster 'Fast & Furious' roared into first place this weekend with $72.5 million, studio estimates showed.

The fourth chapter in the high-octane franchise features Vin Diesel and Paul Walker reuniting as they try to take down a vicious drug kingpin.

The animated comedy 'Monsters vs. Aliens' dropped to second place with $33.5 million. The film -- about a ragtag group of monsters enlisted by the military to save the world from aliens -- uses the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett and Rainn Wilson.

Coming in No. 3 was the horror flick 'The Haunting in Connecticut,' which brought in an estimated $9.5 million. The film follows a family forced to relocate for their son's health but they begin experiencing supernatural behavior in their new home.

Nicolas Cage's mystery thriller 'Knowing' came in fourth place with $8.1 million, while the romantic comedy 'I Love You, Man' -- starring Paul Rudd, Jason Segal and Rashida Jones -- finished fifth with $7.9 million.
