'Puss in Boots' stomps 'Tower Heist' at box office
LOS ANGELES - November 6, 2011
The DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount
Pictures, earned $33 million in its second weekend, according to
studio estimates Sunday.
The PG-rated film focusing on the popular swashbuckling feline
voiced by Antonio Banderas from the "Shrek" series surprisingly
toppled the weekend's two major new releases.
Universal's PG-13 revenge romp "Tower Heist," starring Ben
Stiller and Eddie Murphy, palmed $25 million in the No. 2 spot,
while the R-rated Warner Bros. sequel "A Very Harold & Kumar 3D
Christmas" with John Cho and Kal Penn unwrapped $13 million in
third place.
