NEW YORK — The weekend box office was not only undeterred by the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, it was buoyed by it.
Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" opened strongly with $49.1 million and Robert Zemeckis' "Flight," starring Denzel Washington, soared to a $25 million debut. Both opened above expectations, capitalizing on East Coast audiences looking for distraction amid the recovery from the storm.
