Brave (review here) became Pixar's 13th straight film to debut at #1 at the box office, earning $66.3 million from 4,164 theaters, the studio's widest release ever.
Brave is Pixar's 4th biggest opening weekend for a non-sequel, following Finding Nemo ($70.3 million), The Incredibles ($70.5 million), and Up ($68.1 million).
A kid's movie took also took 2nd place, as Madagascar 3 (review here) brought in $19.7 million, while Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (review here) grossed a measly $16.3 million.
Prometheus (review here) and Snow White & the Huntsman (review here) rounded out the Top Five with $9.9 million and $8.1 million, respectively. Worldwide, Prometheus has now taken in $261.4 million, while SW&TH has reached $297.4 million.
Rock of Ages (review here) and That's My Boy (review here) continue to perform poorly in their second week of release, both bringing in over $7 million for sixth and seventh place. They barely surpassed the eighth place film, Marvel's The Avengers (review here), a film that's been out for two months, as it also earned over $7 million, with a better per-venue average than Rock of Ages and That's My Boy.
Men in Black 3 (review here) and Seeking a Friend for the End of the World (review coming soon) concluded the Top Ten, with $5.7 million and $3.8 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, Moonrise Kingdom continues to do well, bringing in $3.4 million in only 395 theaters, and should be back in the Top Ten next week when it expands nationwide. To Rome with Love rocked the 5 theaters it was in, taking in $379 thousand, averaging $75 thousand per location (a number which blows any of the Top Ten films' averages out of the water).
