There’s no stopping Furious 7 as it holds on to its lead at the top of the Australian box office for the second week in a row.

With takings of over $7 million, its nearest rival is Cinderella which took in almost $3 million in its third week of release, according to the Motion Picture Distributors Association of Australia.

Children and family movies fared well over the Easter school holiday period with Fox animation Home sticking to the third spot, SpongeBob hanging on at four, and Shaun The Sheep climbing back up two spaces from number eight to six.
