The 3D computer-animated adventure from Disney Toon Studios is a spinoff of Pixar’s “Cars.” The movie was originally supposed to be released as a direct to video but the studio heads thought the movie was good enough to be released in theaters.
“Planes” opened 66 percent below the $66.14 million debut of 2011’s “Cars 2,” according to Boxoffice.com.
Since 1980, “Planes” ranks 29 on the opening weekend Disney and Pixar list.
