Into the Woods opened in second place with 394,000 units / $6.05 million. That's not a bad start, especially given the competition and the release date. Unbroken was the third $100 million release to come out this week. It sold 212,000 units and generated $3.18 million during its first week of release. Penguins of Madagascar slipped one spot to fourth down just 43% to 109,000 units / $1.64 million for the week and 301,000 units / $4.51 million after two.
