Box Office Numbers: Wossamotta U

The Monsters Inc. prequel still top of the pops

Monsters University has taken the top slot for its second week, fending off newcomers The Heat (which came in second) and White House Down (which came in a disappointing fourth). World War Z held steady at third place, and Man of Steel dipped down to fifth.

Clearly the visionary filmmakers behind 2000's The Adventures of Rock & Bullwinkle should take a page out of Pixar's book consider a prequel to that film. Just think of it: the college years of Rocky and Bullwinkle. It may not seem lucrative, but I think if they make it dark and gritty, it could debut strong. Robert De Niro would play a young fearless leader de-aged by bad CG.
