Science-fiction sequel Tron: Legacy has gone straight to number one on the box office chart in the US and Canada.
The Disney release continues where 1982′s Tron left off with Jeff Bridges’ character hurtled into a virtual reality called Grid.
Bridges reprises his role in the sequel, which made $43.6million (￡28.5m) in its opening weekend.
Disney said the opening was within its own expectations although the film reportedly cost $170 (￡109m) to make.
Dan Aykroyd family film, Yogi Bear, made a disappointing debut at number two with takings of $16.7m (￡10.7m).
Warner Brother executives said they hoped the adaptation of the TV cartoon would pick up over the holiday period.
“We wish it had been a bit higher, but we’ll catch up as we get going,” said Jeff Goldstein, the studio’s general sales manager.
