Brave – I didn’t Pixar’s attempt at a heroine all that much, largely because our “hero,” Merida, doesn’t do anything especially heroic and it’s more of a fairy tale than the animated action/adventure that was promised in the trailers. More

Andrew Garfield stars as Spider-Man in Columbia Pictures’ “The Amazing Spider-man.”
1. The Amazing Spider-Man. – $65 million. [6-days; $140 million] It’s not at the blockbuster status of the original “Spider-Man” films, but its opening week haul – since it opened Tuesday- has been solid and shows Sony Pictures knew what it was doing when it decided to re-launch its blockbuster franchise.

John (MARK WAHLBERG) hangs out with his best friend, Ted (voiced by SETH MACFARLANE).
1. Ted – $54.1 million [debut week] – Seth MacFarlane’s first feature film proved to be a big hit with audiences and is the highest grossing Friday take for any R-rated comedy. “The Hangover” reached $16 million to “Ted’s” $20.2 million.
Universal Studios’ decision to fill the release void left after Paramount Pictures opted to push “G.I. Joe: Retaliation’s” opening to 2013 looks like a brilliant move. “Ted” was originally set to open July 13, which would likely have gotten it lost in the shuffle between blockbusters “The Amazing Spider-Man” (which opens July 3) and “The Dark Knight Rises” (opening July 20). There was also no other comedy fighting for audience attention so this was a smart bit of strategy on Universal’s part.

The problem with having an excellent reputation is that people — fairly or not — take that excellence for granted and anything less than that standard is considered a disappointment. More
