Three holdovers rounded out the Top 5 on Friday. Fox’s The Heat earned another $8.6 million, which puts it on pace for a $25 million weekend and an excellent $86 million total — double its $43 million budget. EW

And a sequel is in the works

Apparently, women like to go to the movies, too.
Hard to believe, we know, but how else would you explain Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy's "The Heat" ― the only female-driven studio film being released this summer ― opening at $40 million and trouncing its manly competition, "White House Down"?
Well, thankfully, it looks like we may be getting a round two of the female buddy cop comedy.
"We've got ['The Heat' screenwriter] Katie Dippold writing away on one," director Paul Feig told Yahoo! Movies when we asked about the prospect of a sequel. "We had an idea that we thought was really fun."
Not surprisingly, Feig, who also helmed "Bridesmaids," is looking forward to spending more time with Ashburn and Mullins.
"I just love these characters so much," he said. "I want to see them fighting more crime and having more fun."

Is she the only surviving member of the early '90s box office quartet (Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Meg Ryan & Demi Moore)?
So happy for Sandy!
