'The LEGO Movie' goes straight to No.1 at the box office after a hugely successful opening weekend, beating George Clooney's 'The Monuments Men' with ease.
'The LEGO Movie' was the viewer's choice this weekend as the animated-comedy film debuts at No.1 at the North American box office, earning a huge $61.9 million in ticket prices, and eclipsing George Clooney's newly released World War II drama 'The Monuments Men'.
'The LEGO Movie' was a huge hit at the box office on opening weekend
The movie stars Chris Pratt as Emmet, an average Lego guy with a zest for life who is mistaken for the amazing Master Builder by the bearded sage Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) and is given a mission to save the Lego world from being destroyed by Lord Business, the evil business man voiced by Will Ferrell.
Emmet's bravery paired with a nervous desire to take on the evil of the Lego world is a hilarious mixture that brings the child out in all viewers.
