Box-Office: BIG HERO 6 Leads INTERSTELLAR With $56 million

box-office-big-hero-6-interstellar

Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar" failed to win the box-office duel with Disney Animation's "Big Hero 6" which edged out the sci-fi epic by a mere $6 million. The animated adaptation of the Marvel comics earned $56 million in its first weekend and an additional $23 million from foreign markets. Nolan's new film starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain scored an equally impressive result with $50 million and an even more impressive $80 million overseas. This marks the fourth time in box-office history that two movies opened with more than $50 million in the same weekend. And what's more of a coincidence is that both movies had budgets of $165 million.

While the first two entries in the top 10 summed up over $100 million, the other films had to fight over what was left. "Gone Girl" and "Ouija" placed third and fourth, respectively, with $6 million each and the impressive "St. Vincent" climbed to fifth place with $5.7 million over the weekend, bringing its total cume to $27 million.

New Wide Releases: "Big Hero 6", "Interstellar".

Biggest Drop : "The Book of Life" (-65%)

Smallest Drop : "St. Vincent" (-21%)
