"Snow White and the Huntsman" debuted much bigger than anticipated, giving the Universal film the fourth-largest debut this year behind "The Avengers," "The Hunger Games" and "The Lorax."
It looks like all of that "This Is No Fairy Tale" campaigning toward men paid off, considering a 47 percent male audience.
That's good news for Universal, considering the less-than-stellar outcomes of its two previous releases, "Battleship" and "The Five-Year Engagement."
Meanwhile, the "Men in Black" sequel holds steady coming off of a strong Memorial Day Weekend and Fox Searchlight's "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" climbs through the ranks.
Off the list: We finally bid farewell to "The Hunger Games" after a ten-week run and Steve Harvey's "Think Like a Man" which earned $89 million through its six weeks on the chart.
10. "For Greater Glory," the film chronicling the Mexican Cristeros War, opened to a paltry $1.8 million.
9. "Horror flick, "Chernobyl Diaries," following tourists through an abandoned city, home to Chernobyl nuclear reactor workers, dropped four spots in its second week earning $3 million.
8. "Dark Shadows" drops nearly 50 percent in box office ticket sales with $3.8 million. The film has yet to make half of its $150 million budget.
