According to Hitfix.com, the 2nd installment in Disney Pixar's 'Cars' franchise, 'Cars 2' has already made a big box office splash with a estimated total of $25 million on it's first day in theaters. Pixar actually stated they thought that the sequel would get less it's debut than it's previous predecessor, but it seems as if they have had a pleasant surprise. It's estimated that 'Cars 2' could hit $68-70 million once the weekend is over which is a very good total for any film - let alone a film in the children's genre. The 2nd highest box office hit this week has been 'Bad Teacher' with $12.1 million on Friday, while Green Lantern fell to 3rd in it's second week at the box office with $6 million made on Friday - a 72% falling from last week. It appears Cars 2 will drive away with a easy box office win in its opening weekend.
