‘Wreck-It Ralph’ has destroyed the competition at the US Box Office taking the #1 spot with a massive $49.1 million on its opening weekend. This makes ‘Wreck-It Ralph’ the biggest Disney Animation opening of all time ahead of Tangled ($48.8) and all the Studio classics including The Lion King ($40.9).
This heartfelt comedy, about a video game ‘bad guy’ named Ralph who tries to become a hero, took almost twice as much as the number 2 movie, Denzel Washington’s Flight, at the US Box Office this weekend.
Who said video game adaptations were bad? Those of us on this side of the pond will have to wait until February next year to see the pixelated success!
Synopsis: The bad-guy character in a classic game who longs to be a hero brings trouble to his entire arcade after sneaking into a new first-person shooter game and unleashing a deadly enemy.
Released: November 2nd (USA) / Feb 15th 2013 (IRE&UK)
