Pixar’s Monsters University held on to the top spot in theatres for the second weekend in a row according to Box Office Mojo[1]. Dropping only 44% from its opening haul, the film took in an estimated $46.2 million over the weekend. Overall it’s earned $171 million over ten days. BOM predicts “if it doesn’t get completely obliterated by Despicable Me 2 this week, Monsters University should ultimately be able to get close to $300 million”. Speaking of Despicable Me 2, Deadline[2] reports that film opened this weekend as one of the top four films internationally — despite the other three films playing in over 40 territories and Despicable Me 2 only being in seven.
