Weekend Box-Office (USA Est.):
1. Cars 2 *new* ($66.1 mil)
2. Bad Teacher *new* ($31.6 mil)
3. Green Lantern ($18 mil)
4. Super 8 ($12 mil)
5. Mr. Popper's Penguins ($10.1 mil)
Though being considered "the worst Pixar movie", Cars 2 opened to relatively strong numbers over the weekend with 66.1 million dollars, and, expectedly, took the #1 spot. The film had the 5th highest grossing opening weekend for a pixar film; it follows Toy Story 3( $110.3 mil), The Incredibles ($70.5 mil), Finding Nemo ($70.3 mil), and Up ($68.1 mil). Cars 2 also boasts that it is the 12th time in a row that Pixar has opened in the #1 spot. Easy sell, easy sell, easy sell.
In the #2 spot, Bad Teacher pulled a moderately impressive $31.6 mil. Ahead of other female-led, raunchy comedy, Bridesmaid's opening of $26.2 mil.
Green Lantern has since fallen to 3rd place. Things aren't looking too bright for Green Lantern's future, as it continues its downward spiral into "why did we spend that kind of money"-land. Read my friend Hunter's review here.
Super 8 is still holding on strong with an estimated total of $95.2 million in 17 days. According to BoxOffice Mojo, that is already higher than the total grosses of Cloverfield and Battle: Los Angeles, and is on track to be higher than District 9. See my review here.
Mr. Popper's Penguins is still holding in there, even with the incredibly stiff competition in kids movie that is Cars 2 premiering.
