What is it the record for?

the record for best opening weekend for a film featuring Mark Wahlberg and a talking teddy bear

[Batman1980]

Dah meant to put a slash between 7 and 1, guess Beta Man or Diesel can fix it later. I think the record is for best Rated R comedy movie opening, not sure.

Pretty close.

Smashing records and setting off early holiday fireworks, Seth MacFarlane's Ted debuted to a massive $54.1 million at the domestic box office -- the best showing ever for an original R-rated comedy.
