Weekend Box Office for June 14 - 16, 2013; Man of Steel is solid


Man of Steel soared with a $113 million opening weekend, beating Toy Story 3's former June record of $110 million. It actually took in $125 million by this point, but both MoS and This is the End had early openings on Thursday and Wednesday, respectively, that slightly lowered their weekend grosses. It's the third-highest DC Comics film opening following The Dark Knight and its sequel, and more than doubles the $52.5 million opening of Superman Returns. The End performed similarly to other recent comedies featuring its stars like Superbad, Pineapple Express and Knocked Up, which opened with $23 - 33 million.

The Purge had one of the highest second weekend drops of all time, dropping from $34 to $8 million. It's still made considerably more than its budget, and horror movies are typically very front-loaded. The Hangover Part III just missed the top 10, totaling only $107 million after its fourth weekend. At this point, the first film had made over $180 million and was maintaining over half its audience from weekend to weekend. Next weekend, Monsters University and World War Z will likely take the family and sci-fi audiences from holdouts EpicStar Trek, After Earth and Iron Man. See more box office estimates here.
