Reviews haven’t been too kind for the movie, but given Pixar’s recent successes, ‘Cars 2′ should have no problem taking the number-one spot at the box office.

Though the movie wasn’t exactly praised by critics, the hype surrounding the comic-book adaptation should translate into a lot of, well, green at the box office.

Also opening this weekend: the family-friendly vehicle ‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins,’ starring funnyman Jim Carrey in the title role.

It's a great start for a movie that has no big stars and is not about a super hero.  Because the film is getting generally good response from viewers and critics, this will probably end up one of the summer big money makers over the long haul.

 
J.J. Abrams’ Super 8 opened to a better-than-expected $37 million at the domestic box office after an aggressive 11th hour marketing blitz by Paramount. Including paid previews on Thursday, the period sci-fi pic has earned $38 million in its first four days.

Will this be summer's next big hit? Or are audiences cool on alien-invasion movies?
