Great for Puss, okish for Twilight and Muppets

Of course Puss In Boots was gonna do great here.

How is that number for Puss compared to Shrek? I think it did just good and could have done better.

I cant seem to find the first week opening of Shrek. All i know is that it grossed over $14 Million total.
