"Cars 2" grossed a bit less in its opening weekend than original estimates showed -- $66.2 million instead of $68 million, according to figures from Walt Disney Studios.

Even the lower figure is some $6 million more than the most optimistic prerelease projections. The movie was expected to gross $50 million to $60 million in its opening weekend.
