Box Office Report: Holdover 'Puss in Boots' Wins in Shocking Upset over Brett Ratner's 'Tower Heist'

Box Office Report: Holdover 'Puss in Boots' Wins in Shocking Upset over Brett Ratner's 'Tower Heist'

The 3D toon grosses $33 million, nearly as much as its opening, while "Tower Heist" debuts to a subdued $25.1 million; "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas" launches to $13.1 million, just behind last title in franchise.

Senh: The word-of-mouth on "Puss in Boots" must have been amazing. The film made nearly the same amount as its opening weekend. Good reviews helps too. I thought "Tower Heist" would do better, especially with two heavyweights of comedy in the cast - Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy. "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas" did solid business. The first film only made $15M at the box office. The second did considerably better. $13M is solid, especially considering the film only cost $20M to make.

The "Shrek" spinoff "Puss in Boots" landed on all fours, opening with an estimated $34 million to lead the box office. The DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, proved the popular character voiced by Antonio Banderas was a big enough draw outside the "Shrek" franchise... But the largest estimated opening didn't happen in North America. "The Adventures of Tintin," which is being distributed overseas by Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures, opened in 19 international markets and hauled in $55.8 million.

Senh: $56M for the Peter Jackson produced and Steven Spielberg directed "The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn" is awesome. It's good to see that two of the greatest directors of our time working together on an animated film is generating great results critically and commercially. It'll probably do even better in the States.
