The Fate Of The Furious has sped into first place at the US box office again.

The eighth instalment in the Fast And The Furious franchise – which stars Vin Diesel – earned $38.7 million (£30.1 million) over the weekend.

The new competition didn’t stand a chance against the high-octane film, which had the biggest global debut of all time last weekend.

Disney’s animal documentary Born In China earned $5.1 million (£3.9 million) to open in fourth place, behind The Boss Baby with $12.8 million (£9.9 million), and Beauty And The Beast with $10 million (£7.8 million).
