Weekend Report: Pixar Tows 'Cars 2' to Top Spot
Riding on approximately 7,700 screens at 4,115 locations, Cars 2 delivered the fourth highest-grossing June opening weekend ever and the fifth highest-grossing opening weekend yet for a Pixar movie.
In second, Bad Teacher bagged an estimated $31 million on around 3,700 screens at 3,049 locations, grading highly thanks to its relatable, outrageous and clearly-conveyed premise.
Meanwhile, Midnight in Paris boasted the smallest drop among nationwide holdovers. The Woody Allen comedy eased eight percent to an estimated $4.5 million, increasing its sum to $28.6 million in 38 days. It eclipsed Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Match Point as Allen's top grossing movie in 25 years (since Hannah and Her Sisters) and ranks fourth overall. While Midnight has an excellent shot at surpassing Hannah's $40.1 million to become Allen's top-grossing picture overall, it won't come close to the the attendance levels of most of Allen's heyday movies, including Annie Hall, Manhattan and Hannah.
