Box Office: Eddie Murphy’s Got Nothing on ‘Puss In Boots’

Even Eddie Murphy and his band of not-so-ready for Ocean’s 11 players couldn’t knock Antonio Banderas and his animated counterpart “Puss” from their place on the box office mountain top this week. Whether that’s a good thing, or a bad thing, we’re not entirely sure.

That’s right, Dreamworks’ Puss in Boots managed to steal another weekend with an estimate of $33 Million and a total of $75 Million overall. Universal’s Tower Heist was able to come in second, however, with $25 Million. Not very good, considering the film cost upward of $75 Million to make.

Also hitting theaters this weekend, Warner’s A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas opened to a small $13 Million, which makes sense, seeing as how Halloween was less than a week ago!

Next weekend, a bit of a zoo. Leo DiCaprio’s J. Edgar will open for the serious crowd, while Immortals and 11-11-11 opens to the younger, hipper crowd. All while the 1% gets Jack and Jill, which will hopefully not make more than 6 dollars in the box office.
