“Pacific Rim” is off to a slow start considering the extensive marketing campaign and hype that was surrounding the initial release date, the Science Fiction film is playing in 3275 theaters. “Pacific Rim” lands at No. 3 with approximately $38.3 million. Still, del Toro has at least a reason to smile as the result is the highest debut ever for him ahead of 2008’s “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” with $34.5 million.
