Fast & Furious started off the weekend in shocking fashion, earning an astonishing $30.1 million at the box office on Friday. That sum is more than twice what most industry observers expected and it sets Vin Diesel's franchise flick on a pace to annihilate the record for the best April opening ever, Anger Management's $42.2 mil, among other achievements. By comparison, the highly anticipated Watchmen banked a smaller $25.1 mil on its first day. (Yes, the soudoo you hear right now is jaws dropping all around Hollywd.) The weekend's other big new movie, Adventureland, had a hard time getting 
its motor running, grossing just $2.2 mil on the first day of the frame. Friday's rankings are below, and please check back here tomorrow for a full weekend recap in the Box Office Report.1. Fast & Furious -- $30.1 mil
2. Monsters vs. Aliens -- $8.9 mil
3. The Haunting in Connecticut -- $3.7 mil
4. I Love You, Man -- $2.7 mil
