'Car 3' Takes #1 Spot At The Weekend Box Office

The Disney and Pixar's, Cars 3, took the top spot at the weekend box office with an estimated $53.5 million, even though most eyes will be focused on the remarkable third weekend for Warner's Wonder Woman in second place and Lionsgate's All eyez on me, as reported by boxofficemojo.

The latter of which absolutely over performed against the pre-weekend expectations. Also outperforming expectations was Entertainment Studios' 47 Meters Down while Sony's Rough Night had a rough weekend, finishing just outside the top five.

Cars 3 is a franchise built on merchandising as it was revealed six years ago that its merchandise had generated over $10 billion worldwide up to that point. Since that time, Disney has introduced the Planes spin-off franchise, continued the animated television series with "Tales from Radiator Springs" and, to top it all off, Disneyland opened Cars Land, a $1.1 billion expansion to the theme park's California Adventure.
