Pixar has yet another #1 hit.
Brave, the animation company’s first movie
featuring a female lead character, will top this weekend’s box office
with approximately $65 million, according to estimates.
The Scottish adventure is set to be Pixar’s 13th consecutive first-place opener.
Another animated feature, Madagascar 3, should perform well enough in its third weekend to capture the #2 spot, ahead of the new release Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, which will likely fall short of the $20 million mark in its debut.
Holdovers filling out the chart will include sci-fi thinker Prometheus, 1980s hair metal musical Rock of Ages and fairy tale action flick Snow White and the Huntsman.
Meanwhile, The Avengers could come close to breaking the $600 million overall mark by the end of the weekend.
