We have a new champ for the highest-grossing opening for a non-sequel, R-rated comedy (yes, this is really how Hollywood does things). Seth MacFarlane's Ted performed way beyond box office expectations to finish in first place this weekend with $54.1 million. The previous record holder was The Hangover with $45 million.
Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike was another R-rated overperformer this weekend, debuting in second place while Pixar's Brave, last weekend's champ, dropped to third place. This was also the weekend The Avengers dropped out of the Top 10.
Here are the weekend estimates via Rentrak:
1. Ted $54,107,495
2. Magic Mike $39,155,000
3. Brave $34,011,000
4. Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection $26,350,000
5. Madagascar 3 $11,815,000
6. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter $6,000,000
7. Prometheus $4,925,000
8. Moonrise Kingdom $4,872,878
9. Snow White and The Huntsman $4,405,245
10. People Like Us $4,306,000
