Friday's North American box office numbers are in and Deadline is reporting that Fifty Shades Of Grey is bound to beat to break some box office records this weekend and Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service will have a distant, but satisfying second place finish.

Fifty Shades Of Grey spanked the competition with $31M on Friday and is now on track for $83M this weekend and $91M 4-day total. That tops Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day, which had set the Valentine's Day ($23.4M) and weekend ($63.1) records in 2010.

20th Century Fox's comic book movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, which was directed by Matthew Vaughn and stars Colin Firth, pulled in $10.5M on Friday and is now set to have a solid $35M opening weekend and a $39.4 four-day total. It is Vaughn's second best opening weekend after 2011's X-Men: First Class ($55.1M).
