A foul-mouthed teddy bear beat out Chippendale dancers for the box-office crown.
Seth MacFarlane’s Ted topped the box office in its opening weekend with $54.1 million in ticket sales. In second was Magic Mike with $39.2 million.
The animated fairy tale Brave took third with $34 million, which lifted its 10-day total to $131.7 million.
Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Witness Protection was No. 4 with $26.4 million; that met most projections. The cartoon Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted rounded out the top 5 with $11.8 million. The comedy has made $180 million in four weekends.
Final figures are due Monday.
Ted was hysterical!
When Mark and the bear got into that epic knock down drag out fight I had tears running down my face. My wife even liked it.
