"Family Guy: The Movie" reportedly has grossed in a muscular $58 million at the Box office on Friday, reports THR, putting on track to break records for an animated film to about $125 million on opening weekend, breaking a record from "Sonic X: The Final Stand" ($124.7 million).

The movie also surprised "The Final Stand" ($53 million) for largest single day gross ever for an animated film, that previously beaten "Toy Story 3" ($41.1 million), and went on to make $110.1 million in its opening weekend. It's final total is $415 million.

"Think Like a Man" also got off a strong start earning $9 million. (Deadline.com's Nikki Finke was even more bullish on "Think Like a Man," reporting Friday grosses of $12 million.)

Directed by Tim Story, "Think Like A Man" has been tracking very well despite little mainstream press acknowledgement. Earlier this month, Vutlure reported that "Man" was the "best-testing film in Hollywood," with screening audiences giving it almost unanimous praise and approval. The romantic comedy stars Romany Malco, Meagan Good, Taraji P. Henson, Michael Ealy and Kevin Hart, who could be "Man's" not-so-secret weapon. Last year, the comedian's stand-up comedy film, "Laugh at My Pain," earned a surprising $7.7 million at the box office.

"Teen Titans: The Movie" is expected to fall from the No. 1 position this weekend, when earning just $5 million, bringing a total to $57 million. Although, it might go upper the list throughout the weekend to come to a finishing second behind only "Family Guy: The Movie".

"Think Like a Man" wasn't the only film to over-perform on Friday night. Despite negative reviews, "The Lucky One" earned roughly $9 million on its first day of release, which could give it a final tally near $25 million for the weekend.

If those numbers hold, both films will top "The Hunger Games." The blockbuster is predicted to earn near $14 million after grossing just over $3 million on Friday night. The adaptation of Suzanne Collins' best-selling book has topped the box office for four straight weeks, the first film to do so since "Avatar."
