Puss in Boots is a spin off prequel of the character made popular in the Shrek franchise. The cute kitty made his first film appearance in Shrek 2 and is voiced by Antonio Banderas. Puss in Boots follows the adventures of Puss before he meets Shrek. The film opened in theaters on October 28th and although it was expected to capture the number 1 spot for that week it was not expected to stay number 1.
The Brett Ratner film Tower Heist opened on November 4th starring funny men Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller and also starred Matthew Broderick, Gabourey Sidibe (Precious), Alan Alda (television show MASH) and many others. With such an all-star cast Tower Heist was expected to knock the saucer from the kitty and grasp the number 1 spot in the box office, but it did not. Puss in Boots stayed number 1 for a second week raking in $33 million and Tower Heist made a cool $25.1 million.
Can Puss in Boots stay number 1 for a third week? We just have to wait and see. This was a bit of a surprise because I expected Tower Heist to dominate, but $25 million is far from chump change.
