Disney Pixar’s latest film Brave topped the weekend box office with an impressive $66.7 million, beating Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
Although the movie opened to somewhat mixed reviews (read ours here), its ticket totals were no doubt helped by the start of summer vacation, plus 3D and IMAX prices.
