Angelina Jolie's action thriller Wanted had the best opening ever for an R-rated film released in June and the 6th best opening of all the time for any R-rated film, according to Variety.
But Wanted didn't open at No. 1. WALL-E, the Pixar Animation tale about a robot, opened with $62.5 million in ticket sales, while Jolie's assassin thriller Wanted raked in $51.1 million, the Associated Press reported Sunday.
According to AP, WALL-E moviegoers of all ages:
"The real secret is that they are not films for children. They are films for everyone. The kids love very much, but parents take advantage of on another level," Mark Zoradi, president of Disney's film group told the AP.
Nikki Rocco, head of distribution for Universal, told the AP, "We knew WALL-E would be enormous, but this is not the same audience that Wanted."
The same New York Times criticizing the dissed Sex and the City film Angelina Jolie gave a fume.
"With its average smiley scoff and tight clothes, heels and hieroglyphics, it cuts the disciplinarian type figure that can bring antsy boys of all ages to its knees or at least in their theater seats," wrote Manohla Dargis.
Trivia: The queen of celebrity tattoo, Angelina has geographical coordinates tattoed on her left arm that indicate the location of where her children were born. The tattoo covered the previous dragon and name of her ex husband billy bob thornton which were removed when they got separated. (See Angelina's most memorable action roles.)
