The box office results are in and it turns out, no one cares if you’re the lowest scoring Pixar film ever on RottenTomatoes because people couldn’t drive fast enough to Cars 2 this weekend. Taking in $68 million, the film surpassed the opening of the original, but failed in comparison to Toy Story 3‘s $110 million weekend last year.

Bringing in $31 to arrive in second (but also fail with critics), Bad Teacher proved people love raunch, regardless of how original it is. Expectations for the film were averaging $20 million, so this has become a relative success. Maybe The Social Network finally broke the Timberlake curse with movie goers (but what about Yogi Bear?).

While the first two films should come as no surprise to most,DC Comics fans and execs are cringing this morning after the Ryan Reynolds lead Green Lantern slid 66% to slide into third during its’ second week of release with $18.35 million. This brings the films cumulative domestic take to $89.3 million, a relatively underwhelming take for any comic related feature.

The full box office ranking can be found below (thanks Time). Transformers arrives in theaters this week and will probably be number one come next Monday. Any guesses on what the box office total will be?

1. Cars 2, $68 million, first weekend
2. Bad Teacher, $31 million, first weekend
3. Green Lantern, $18.35 million; $89.3 million, second week
4. Super 8, $12.1 million; $95.2 million, third week
5. Mr. Popper’s Penguins, $10.3 million; $39.5 million, second week

7. The Hangover Part II, $5.9 million; $243.9 million, fifth week
8. Bridesmaids, $5.4 million; $146.7 million, seventh week
