Monsters,
Inc. Makes $12 Million on Second Friday
(by digitalmediafx.com) Monsters, Inc. made $12 million
on Friday, starting off strong in its second week in release.
The $12 million easily sets Monsters, Inc. up to win the
weekend at #1 again before it is dethroned next Friday by Harry
Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, which several analysts worldwide
believe will top Titanic as the highest grossing film of
all time.
Last Friday,
Monsters, Inc. made $17.4 million on its way to breaking
the record for the highest grossing animated opening of all time.
The $12 million it made this past Friday is a respectable drop
of 31%.
In its first
eight days of release, Monsters, Inc. easily roared by
Disney's summer animated movie Atlantis: The Lost Empire,
which took an entire summer to reach its near-final box office
tally of $84 million. Monsters, Inc. has made $88.6 million
to date.
