Box Office Watch: 'Monsters University' Hangs Onto the #1 Spot!

Box Office Monsters University News

After a strong start, Monsters University continued its box office reign this weekend with around $46.2 million; a solid 44% second week drop, compared to Toy Story 3‘s 45.5%, Cars 2‘s 60.3%, and Brave‘s 48.6% declines.

Accounting for the $42,395,979 pulled in over the week, Monsters University has made an impressive $171 million in the US to date. Overseas, where it’s already facing off with juggernaut Despicable Me 2, it’s grossed around $129.3 million.

Next week brings the US debuts of Despicable Me and The Lone Ranger, the former of which should inevitably dethrone Monsters. If it holds up over the summer, though, Pixar could bring home a healthy $300 million in domestic earnings.
