Monsters University stayed put atop the box-office pile for a second weekend, pulling in $46.1 million … but the real story is The Heat earning $40 million to take second place.
It’s the biggest opening ever for a Sandra Bullock movie — though Melissa McCarthy probably deserves a little credit there — which put the movie well ahead of World War Z, which placed third in its second weekend with $29.8 million, and White House Down, which opened in fourth with $25.7 million.
Now, World War Z can content itself with another number — $70.1 million, which is what the movie made internationally — while White House Down is facing a number that offers no consolation at all. That would be $30.5 million, the amount that Olympus Has Fallen grossed when it opened back in March.
In second place.
Behind The Croods.
Ouch.
I’m not up on “the Twitter” so I’ll leave my comment here. Surely that pic of Paul Ryan kissing a fish is meant to illustrate what sort of madness they think will surely follow after the Supreme Court decision. #Scaretacticsforidiots
