Critics may have only found Cars 2 to be marginally better than Hop (at least judging from the two films’ Rotten Tomatoes scores), but that doesn’t mean audiences felt the same way. The Pixar sequel rushed to $25.7 million on Friday night — well ahead of tracking expectations — and could wind up with the second-biggest opening weekend in the history of the brand, behind only Toy Story 3 . In other surprising box office news: Bad Teacher also exceeded expectations — and how! With a $12 million Friday night, the Cameron Diaz-led comedy could beat the opening weekend of fellow R-rated girl comedy Bridesmaids , quality be damned. Your Friday box office is here.
