"Family Guy: The Movie" reached the record as the biggest single day gross ever for an animated film earning in $58.1 million on Friday, for a $120 million or more total in its opening weekend.

It easily topped "Sonic X: The Final Stand" ($53.3 million), although it fall short to its midnight gross ($19 million) earning in just $12.5 million. Although, it made $45.6 million which did better than "Sonic X 5" ($34.3 million).

Screen Gems' "Think Like a Man" placed No. 2 on Friday. The romantic comedy topped expectations with $12.2 million, including a healthy $500,000 in Thursday midnight receipts. Expect the film to earn around $20 and $25 million for the weekend.

Based on Steve Harvey's relationship advice book, "Man" stars Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Romany Malco, Meagan Good and Michael Ealy.

It topped the Nicholas Sparks-derived Zac Efrom melodrama "The Lucky One," which pulled in a strong $9.1 million on Friday. The Warner Bros. film should earn around $18 million for the three-day, which is a good number, but not as high as the last two Sparks adaptations, "Dear John" and "The Last Song."

"Teen Titans: The Movie" officially bleeds away from No. 1 to No. 4 with $5.5 million, bringing its total to $57.2 million. But don't feel too bad for the five teenage superheroes; it should be on its way to $70 million by Sunday when making in about $20 million that week.

Lionsgate's "The Hunger Games" rounds the top five with $4 million. But don't feel too sorry for Katniss and the other tributes; the domestic cume for "Hunger Games" is now $346 million, while its worldwide gross stands at well over half a billion dollars.

Meanwhile, Disney's newest documentary about the animal kingdom, "Chimpanzee," opened at No. 6 with $3.5 million, while Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's horror headspin "Cabin in the Woods" closed out the top five with an estimated $2.4 million.
