"Ted," the greatest foul-mouthed teddy bear comedy ever made, opened to a sizzling $54 million that pulled the summer out of a June swoon and has gone on to make $218 million in the U.S. It launched the feature film career of director Seth MacFarlane, who also voiced the bad-boy bear. Its success overseas, where the R-rated "Ted" has made another $285 million, was another pleasant surprise for Universal.
