‘Magic Mike’ Can’t Outstrip Super ‘Ted’ At US Box Office

After Pixar’s BRAVE opened so well last week, you’d have not been a fool to suspect it would stay at number one in the US Box Office Top 10. But boy, would you have egg on your face now: TED, Seth McFarlane’s debut motion picture has stormed to the top and broken the record for the biggest R-Rated (that means dirty) non-sequel opening weekend in US history with $54.1 million. This is most impressive, and as equally surprising was the strong opening for MAGIC MIKE, the Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey-starring tale of male strippers, in second with $39.1 million; BRAVE had to settle for third place with a drop of almost 50% in takings from its opening weekend.

With THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN poised to open in the massive 4th July week it would be shocking if TED was to hold onto number one for a second week but we’ll be sure to let you know how it fares.
