Wall E beats Wanted at box office
It might seem strange but it’s true. Wall E opened with $62.5 million in ticket sales making Wanted rank second this past weekend making $51.1 million. According to the AP, Wall-E drew moviegoers of all ages.
But… according to other stats provided by Perez Hilton, Wanted can still be considered huge success as it was the biggest opening of an action film in Jolie’s career; as it turned out to be the best June opening ever for an R-rated movie, beating Knocked Up‘s $30.6m, and the 6th highest R-rated opening of all time.
Besides, the studio expected only a $35m-something opening, so the film did much better than anticipated. And finally, Angie proved she is a big draw: Cinemascore said the main reasons given for choosing to see Wanted were the action (67%) and Jolie (61%).
