This week's two new releases couldn't go past Monsters University as the Disney Pixar movie earned $45 million to retain its position. The animation hit has so far earned in excess of $170 million. Amongst the new releases, comedy The Heat had a super opening of around $39 million. This was easily the best opening ever for its stars Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy The same can't be said for Channing Tatum as his movie White House Down had a disappointing opening of just under $25 million. It was also one of the lowest debuts for its director Roland Emmerich who has given huge hits in past like Independence Day and 2012.
