Weekend Box-Office: Cars 2 Revs Up the Green
From boom to bust…Green Lantern was handily dethroned atop the box office by two newcomers. Cars 2 led the contention this weekend, the Disney/Pixar production showing a strong opening with $68 million for the top spot. Behind it came the Cameron Diaz comedy Bad Teacher with $31 million.

Not really much of a surprise, considering the names attached to the project; Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams monstrous Super 8 took on all challengers and earned the top spot this week, with $37 million…a bit of a drop from last week’s top earner X-Men: First Class, which dropped to 2nd place with $25 million.
