Box Office: Cuteness Will Always Triumph

Jun 30 2008 - 6:30am


The cutest robot to hit the screen in a long time, Wall-E [1], proved irresistible to audiences over the weekend, earning the top spot at the box office with an estimated $62.5 million. According to Variety, this is the third best opening for a Pixar film [2] after The Incredibles ($70.5 million) and Finding Nemo ($70.2 million).

The Angelina Jolie-James McAvoy action flick Wanted [3] nabbed the No. 2 spot with a respectable $51 million, and Get Smart [4] stayed strong in the third spot earning $20 million over the weekend.

While most had adorable robots on the brain this weekend, some were still looking for some big panda fun and kept Kung Fu Panda [5] going strong at No. 4, beating The Incredible Hulk [6] which landed in the fifth spot.
