Well, it looks like Pixar has yet ANOTHER giant hit on their hands. Their 14th outing, Monsters University, has netted in more than $82mil this weekend. This not only makes it #1 at the Box Office, but it also is the biggest opening of ANY Pixar film. That isn’t much of a surprise though, what’s more shocking is the fact that the horrible looking World War Z was in 2nd place with more than $66mil. That makes WWZ Brad Pitt‘s biggest opening ever. Shocking.

Next week, should be pretty interesting with The Heat and White House Down. My money’s on the Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx buddy-president film; but Melissa McCarthy’s been on a role, so we shall see. Stay Tuned next week and find out what happens here at DFAT!
If you need a Tatum/Foxx fix in the meantime, check out this great video from Jimmy Kimmel.
