With two big boys at play this weekend, there was something for everyone. If you wanted action, then you got Wanted, but if you wanted fun, comedy, and animation, then you had Wall-E. I saw both of these amazing films and I suggest if you havent yet, you need to now! But who won this weekends battle of the box office? Lets find out.

The latest film from Pixar/Disney, Wall-E, debuted #1 at the box office with $62.5 million. The film cost $180 million to make, so will need to top the $200 million mark to turn a profit in theaters. The film now stands as the second biggest June opening ever behind Harry Potter and the Prisonor of Azkaban which earned $93.6 million during its opening weekend in June 2004. The film was also the forth best Pixar debut, behind Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Monsters, Inc.

Wanted debuted at #2 with $51.1 million. The film had the highest per theater average of any in the top ten with $16,100 per theater. The film did way better than expectations and now stands as the biggest June opening EVER for an R-rated film. The film cost $75 million to make. Note to all you out there, its amazing. The effects, story, action, characters, its all there and rocks. For more on this, read the review by Alex here. http://sparkboxshow.com/2008/06/wanted-curving-bullets-and-kicking-ass.html#more-208
