The raunchy Seth Rogen and Zac Efron-led comedy earned $26 million, bringing its domestic total to a solid $91.5 million. Worldwide the film has grossed $146.3 million.

Rounding out the top three is "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" with $16.8 million. So far it's earned a total of $172 million domestically.
