According to the Hollywood Reporter, "Scooby-Doo! The 2nd Movie" has got to a super strong start this Holiday season earning $62.1 million in the beginning of its release.

Than, the film went to make $141 million over the weekend, and ended its run to $275 million. It's also $28 million bigger than the first film had opened in the beginning of its release last year ($34.1 million).

Could "Scooby-Doo! The 2nd Movie" pass the $150 million mark by Sunday? Observers believe that the movie is expected to make either $105 million or $110 million its opening weekend, now they believe that making at least $140 million is big enough.

The $100 million opening has not been seen since this past summer's "The Dark Knight Rises", "The Avengers", "Shadow the Hedgehog" and mid spring releases of "The Hunger Games" and "Family Guy: The Movie".

Prepare yourselves as it may unseat "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" ($142.8 million) for the biggest opening for a November release and for any holiday films. This is the cause of kids being out of school in East Coast because of the hurricane Sandy to see the film.

Speaking of kids, many adults are also out of work because of the hurricane, just in time to see films like Flight and The Man With Iron Fists. Both films seemed to over performed earning $8.1 million and $3 million, respectivetly. As for Wreck-It Ralph, it is also performed strong with $13.4 million to a close second place behind ''Scooby-Doo! The 2nd Movie'', heading for a $45 million or $50 million over the weekend.
