Puss in Boots pulled off a shocking upset at the box office this weekend. In its second week in release, the animated flick pulled in an estimated $33 million in ticket sales, easily beating Eddie Murphy's Tower Heist. The caper film, also starring Ben Stiller and Casey Affleck, underperformed with $25.1 million.
