TOP PICK: 'Monsters University' and 'World War Z' have scary good Friday; 'Man of Steel' sinks

The question heading into this frame at the box office was whether World War Z would earn over $50 million, joining Monsters University and Man of Steel and making this the first weekend ever in which three films earned over $50 million. Well, World War Z will earn over $50 million — but due to Man of Steel‘s unexpectedly huge dropoff, that box office record won’t be reached.

Monsters University topped the box office on Friday with a monstrous $30.5 million. That’s better than the $24.6 million that Brave started with en route to a $66.3 million debut, but lower than the $41.1 million that Toy Story 3 earned on Friday on the way to a $110.3 million debut. Monsters University will likely finish between those two films, perhaps with about $75-80 million in its first three days.

In second place, Brad Pitt vehicle World War Z broke out with a terrific $25 million. The zombie thriller, which reportedly cost over $200 million to produce (Paramount is admitting to $190 million), may earn about $63 million over the Friday-to-Sunday period. For a movie whose production was famously troubled, World War Z marks a major marketing win for Paramount. It will easily become the biggest opening of Brad Pitt’s career.

Man of Steel plummeted 71 percent from its first Friday to $12.7 million. The Superman reboot may finish in third place with about $41 million in its sophomore frame, which would give it a $210 million total — more than Superman Returns‘ entire $200 million domestic finish. That said, it looks like Man of Steel may have to work harder than initially expected to reach $300 million, which seemed all but assured after its robust $128.7 million debut last weekend.

This is the End and Now You See Me rounded out the Top 5 with $4.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively. This is the End may score about $13 million, which would mark an excellent drop of just 40 percent and give it nearly $58 million total. Now You See Me, meanwhile, may take in about $8 million in its fourth weekend, giving it an excellent $94 million cume.

1. Monsters University – $30.5 million
2. World War Z – $25 million
3. Man of Steel – $12.7 million
4. This is the End – $4.1 million
5. Now You See Me – $2.5 million

Emma Watson Makes Friends With New Co-Star Rihanna 'She Thinks I'm Bad A**!'

Emma Watson has made an unlikely new best mate in the form of her new co-star Rihanna, with the raunchy singer declaring the English Rose 'bad a**!'

Harry Potter star Emma and RiRi star together in new comedy film This Is The End and it sounds like opposites really do attract as the pair bonded over hair cuts on set.

"She was just lovely," the actress recalled to Extra, adding: "We talked about hair! She was like, 'You cut all your hair off... so bad-ass' and I was like, 'You're so bad-ass'!"

This Is the End stars Watson, Rihanna and co-director and star Seth Rogen's close friends Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Craig Robinson, James Franco and Michael Cera as themselves a they prepare for the impending end of the world.

The movie is just the latest in a long line of project for busy Emma, with her anticipated project The Bling Ring set to open in the UK this month too. Things could have been very different for the actress though as she recently confessed she almost quit acting after the stratospheric success of Harry Potter.

Emma got her big break playing Hermione in the film adaptions of JK Rowling' book series, but after ten years acting in the franchise Emma admits she almost considered throwing in the towel.

Talking about whether she has finally left the Harry Potter experience behind her, Emma tells Total Film magazine, "Kind of - I basically took two years out and stepped as far away from it as I could - I mean the HP films were still coming out but I took time to really try and figure out who I was and what I wanted to do. I even considered not being an actress."

Emma Watson suspects zombies in “This Is The End” clip

It seems as though Emma Watson will have more than just a small cameo appearance in “This Is The End.” A new clip from the upcoming comedy action movie has been released, and it shows that she does more here than just attend James Franco’s party and then later come after the movie’s leads with an axe like the trailers have teased.

In fact, she ends up staying with Franco, Jonah Hill, Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Jay Baruchel and Craig Robinson in their save haven of Franco’s home. Unlike the rest of them, Watson has spent plenty of time on the outside and suspects she knows what apocalyptic event is going down: zombies. Based on the creatures we’ve seen running around in “This Is The End’s” trailers, she’s likely wrong, but maybe Rogen has gone crazy in his directorial debut and incorporated a bunch of different apocalyptic tropes in this film.

Honestly, we’re just happy that Watson is more than just a bit part. Her inclusion is one of our favorite elements of the movie, and it’s nice to see the “Harry Potter” actress doing something completely different from her usual. She looks like she’s fantastic in “This Is The End,” and the rest of the cast seems as excited to have her as we are.

“This Is the End” is the directorial debut of Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. In addition to those already listed, the movie stars Paul Rudd, Mindy Kaling, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Martin Starr, Kevin Hart and David Krumholtz. It’s due in theaters on June 12.

Emma Watson Is a Total Badass In the First Red Band Trailer for "This Is the End"

In This Is the End, otherwise known as the film with the best cast ever, Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Jay Baruchel, Emma Watson, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Aziz Ansari, Jason Segel, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera and a myriad of other celebrities face the possible end of the world while attending a party at James Franco's house. How's that for a great premise?

We've been hearing about this film for just about a year now - it began filming last summer in New Orleans - but now we finally have the first full-length red band trailer to give us a better idea of what to anticipate from the film. As expected: Everyone portrays themselves in a hilarious manner, especially Rihanna. Unexpected: Emma Watson is a certified badass, and "Hermione just stole all our shit," might be the best line we've heard all week.

A teaser trailer was released yesterday to promote the film, though in the spirit of April Fools' Day, it was stylized as a fake - but still hilarious - Pineapple Express 2 commercial.

This Is the End is set to hit theaters on June 12.
