Up is definitely a critical success<\/a> (150 review so far, still at 98%), but audiences are definitely loving it as well. Pixar’s sure-to-be mega hit has made it safe to claim that Pixar is at 10 for 10<\/strong> status.<\/p>\n

Estimates for Up<\/a>‘s opening weekend are in and they’re astonishing! Pixar’s 10th film soared above the competition with an estimated cumulative gross of:<\/p>\n

$68,200,000<\/strike> Final #: $68,108,790<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n

That’s the 3rd largest opening weekend<\/a> for a Pixar film or any animated release from Walt Disney Pictures. It’s right behind The Incredibles and Finding Nemo’s 70 mil., impressive indeed! Even more<\/em> impressive, Up would be Pixar’s 10th film in a row (out of 10 features) opening at #1! <\/strong>Here’s how the week<\/a> played out: Friday brought in $21 mil., Saturday was the big one with $26 mil. and Sunday dropped (as usual) to $20 mil.<\/p>\n

At this point it’s safe to say Up is a huge hit trumping<\/a> the highly anticipated sequel Night at the Museum 2 on its second week, which dropped to $25 million. It’s also a step-up from last year’s WALL<\/span>•E which opened at 63 million in the first 3 days.<\/p>\n

One could speculate Up is on track for $250+ million considering some major factors. These include the expensive 3D aspect, opening in 3766 theatres, Pixar’s past box-office record and the relatively low competition for about a month (until Transformers 2 almost surely tramples on everything), to name a few.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the whole Disney\/Pixar team for making this Pixar’s 10th hit!<\/p>\n

Where will Up end… up after it’s run is over, tell us what you think?<\/p>\n
