'Ted' beats the stuffing out of 'Magic Mike'

Universal's "Ted," Seth MacFarlane's tale of a potty-mouthed teddy bear come to life, beat the stuffing out of its box office rivals and pre-release projections with a stunning $54.1 million debut weekend. Another of the weekend's R-rated openers, Channing Tatum's "Magic Mike," shook its box-office booty, bump-and-grinding its way to $39.1 million for Warner Bros., well beyond expectations. The audience for the No. 2 movie, not surprisingly, was 73 female. Both of them topped last week's No. 1 "Brave," as audiences went for raunch rather than the family fare that has dominated the past three weeks. Disney's latest Pixar film still made $34 million for third place, upping its domestic total to $133 million in two weeks. "Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection" bowed to $26.3 million over the three days to claim the No. 4 spot for Lionsgate.

Here are the top 5 movies from the weekend:
"Ted," $53.1 million
"Magic Mike," $39.1 million
"Brave," $34 million
"Tyler Perry's Madea's Witness Protection," $26.3 million
"Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted," $11.8 million

Child Visitation Rights Switch for Dwyane Wade’s Ex

A Cook County judge ruled that Dwyane Wade's former wife would need to shift visits with their children from Chicago to Florida, until the court determines if she was involved with interfering with a previously arranged visitation schedule. She was arrested June 16 for allegedly refusing to return their children to Wade’s sister for over eight hours. As a result, she’ll have to travel to Florida to see their two sons. “Read my lips on this – you tell the kids: ‘I got arrested, your dad got me arrested’ … I take away your visitation,” Judge Leslie Berger told Siohvaughn Funches-Wade, who donned a blue sling on her right arm, reports the Chicago Tribune. “The children should not be in the middle of this.” According to the athlete’s attorneys, the boys missed their flight that afternoon, prompting Wade to hire a private plane to transport the children so they could spend Father’s Day together. However, Funches-Wade says it was all a misunderstanding and the situation has been blown out of proportion.
