Today's News: Our Take - Box Office: Monsters University Tops World War Z
Brad Pitt may do battle with zombies in his new film World War Z , but monsters of another sort prevailed in the box office battle.
Pixar's Monsters University , the animated sequel to Monsters, Inc. , topped World War Z at the box office, bringing in $82 million, Box Office Mojo reports. World War Z landed in second place with $66 million.
Last week's No. 1 movie, Man of Steel , plummeted nearly 65 percent in its second week, coming in third with $41.2 million, while This Is the End dropped to fourth place with $13 million for week two.
Rounding out the top five was Now You See Me with $7.87 million.
Fast & Furious 6 came in at No. 6 with $4.7 million. With $3.42 million, The Internship (No. 7) narrowly bested The Purge , which raked in $3.41 million for an eighth-place finish.
After six weeks in theaters, Star Trek Into Darkness still landed in the top 10, coming in at No. 9 with $3 million, as did Iron Man 3 after eight weeks in theaters (No. 10, $2.17 million).
