Invincible led the roster on summer’s penultimate weekend, which was typically mundane as a whole yet four percent above the same frame a year ago. Summer 2006’s tally stands at $3.6 billion, seven percent ahead of last year.
The latest in Walt Disney Pictures’ line of inspirational sports dramas, Invincible, fielded a solid estimated $17 million from around 3,300 screens at 2,917 theaters. The picture had a similar premise as Disney’s The Rookie, replacing baseball with football, and sold nearly as many tickets initially.
