Disney-Pixar's "Finding Dory" continues setting records, bringing in $55 million on Friday to have the biggest single day at the box office for an animated movie.
That's more than the previous record of $47 million held by DreamWorks' "Shrek the Third" in 2007.
The sequel to "Finding Nemo," playing on 4,305 screens, is also on pace to have the biggest opening weekend of all time for an animated film. "Finding Dory" is now expected to top $130 million, which is much more than the $121.6 million made by current record holder "Shrek the Third."
"Dory" should also easily beat the opening of "Toy Story 3," which earned $110 million in 2010, to break a Pixar record.
Meanwhile, New Line, Warner Bros. and Universal's "Central Intelligence" made $13 million on Friday from 3,508 locations.
The Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart's action comedy made $1.84 million during the Thursday previews and is projected to earn and estimated $35 million for the weekend.
