Jennifer Aniston's "We're the Millers" got off to a strong start at the box office on Wednesday, with the R-rated comedy racking up $6.7 million in its first day of release.
The foul-mouthed film is on track to rack up more than $30 million in its first five days in theaters — a particularly good showing given that the New Line film cost less than $40 million to produce.
"We're the Millers" squared off against "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters," the $90 million follow-up to 2010's "Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief." The gods and mythical beasts mash-up earned $5.4 million.
"We're the Millers" opened in 3,260 locations to a critical cold-shoulder from most reviewers, eking out a doleful 34 percent "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences seem to like the movie, however, giving it an A- Cinemascore rating.

"Percy Jackson" debuted on 2,907 screens and will expand to over 3,000 by Friday. It is on track to earn roughly $25 million over its first five days in theaters.
