So you've got an animated feature at #1, a semi-animated feature at #3 (giant robots count, don't they? Even if the frenetic cutting and jumping around give audiences a headache?). You have the latest Pixar epic rolling along at #5.

And then there is Captain Underpants lurking below the Big Ten with a $70 million gross. This is probably way below what DreamWorks/Universal was hoping for, but since the film had a cost somewhere around $38-$40 million, thanks to all the Free Canadian Money, the picture should eke out a profit when all world markets are counted.
