Despite tough reviews, Hangover managed $14.5 million Friday, which should send it above forecasters' projections of $55 million over the long weekend. Just 21% of the nation's critics recommended the movie, says polling site Rottentomatoes.com. Fans gave the movie a "B," says pollsters CinemaScore.
Moviegoers went mad over Furious, however. About 73% of critics gave it a thumbs-up, while a staggering 95% of fans liked it, Rottentomatoes.com says.
Furious propelled all business this weekend. If estimates hold, Memorial Day weekend box office will top $300 million, a record. Final figures are due Tuesday.
The $160 million Furious also debuted in first place in 59 foreign markets and is expected to do another $150 million overseas.
A seventh film is slated for July 11, 2014.

cause of no Paul Walker or him. So Fast and Furious was basically created to reunite them, which made more money than expected. Then the piff 5th one was made. Which was all out with Luda, Tyrese, The Rock, and others. That made crazy loads of money as well as the 6th one.
