Saturday Am Update: Monsters University held on to first place on Friday with an estimated $14.3 million, which puts it on pace for a weekend around $47 million. The Heat wasn't far behind with $13.6 million, and should earn at least $35 million in its first frame. Meanwhile, White House Down was a major disappointment: the movie took in an estimated $9 million, which is a bit lower than similar movie Olympus Has Fallen's $10.1 million start. For the weekend, White House Down will finish below $30 million. Friday Am Update: White House Down earned $1.35 million from late Thursday shows, while The Heat took in around $1 million. Neither of these numbers are particularly remarkable, and the chance of a $40 million opening this weekend has deceased significantly.Forecast: Thanks to massive debuts from Man of Steel, Monsters University and World War Z, June 2013 is on pace to be the highest-grossing June ever at the domestic box office. »
