Here’s what we called a meow power!
According to studio estimates Sunday, “Puss in Boots” earned $33 million in its second weekend, and bringing its total haul to $75 million.
Therefore, the DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, is once again the king at weekend’s box office.
The “Shrek” spinoff movie -in which the main character voiced by Antonio Banderas- is surprisingly toppled the weekend’s two new releases; “Tower Heist” and “Harold & Kumar 3D.”
“Tower Heist,” starring Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy, was in second place for the weekend with $25.1 million in North American sales.
Meanwhile, in third place was the Warner Bros. R-rated sequel “A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas” with John Cho and Kal Penn, which took in $13.1 million domestically.
Here’s the complete top ten movies, with estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters:
1. “Puss in Boots,” $33 million. ($15 million international.)
2. “Tower Heist,” $25.1 million. ($9.5 million international.)
