Despite some noteworthy competition, Monsters University took in an impressive $82 million in the United States over its debut weekend – Pixar’s second highest opening to date behind Toy Story 3! Unsurprisingly, it also continued Pixar’s unbroken streak of #1 box office openings.
The movie also made about $54.5 million overseas, raising its total to $136.5 million. Next weekend should also bring in sizable earnings, but expect Despicable Me 2‘s July 3rd release to take away some considerable steam. Regardless, this should still be another monstrous success for Pixar, especially as it continues to open in worldwide markets over the Summer.

No boo. This movie sucked.
Anonymous #1— what??? How did it “suck”???
I’m very much loved Boo’s character and was sincerely worried her absence would hurt the film, but after actually watching I’m happy to say Monsters University is not only a fun, but great story 🙂
