Pixar's Monsters University remained the No. 1 movie this weekend, staving off competition from newcomers The Heat and White House Down.
Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy's R-rated buddy cop comedy had a healthy second place debut with $40 million, but director Roland Emmerich's White House Down bowed with a disappointing fourth place showing of $25.7 million.
It appears White House Down really was hurt in the public's eyes by its similarly-themed Olympus Has Fallen, which opened this past spring to $30+ million and ended up earning $160.9 million worldwide.
