Disney’s animated [_Big Hero 6_ beat out Christopher Nolan’s _Interstellar_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-big-hero-6-747690 "undefined") at the box office this weekend, respectively taking in $56.2 million and $50 million, according to _The Hollywood Reporter_. _Interstellar_, whose domestic gross came in a little below expectations, has brought in $52.2 million in its first five days — Nolan requested the film open two days early in a small number of theaters, and about $13.4 million of that total came from Imax and special screens. The film, which stars Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway and Jessica Chastain, is Nolan’s longest movie ever with a 169-minute running time. Stephen Hawking biopic _The Theory of Everything_ also opened this weekend in select theaters, and star Eddie Redmayne’s performance [has already earned plenty of Oscar buzz](http://time.com/3547822/eddie-redmayne-stephen-hawking/ "undefined"). \[[_THR_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-big-hero-6-747690 "undefined")\] ### Meet the Big Hero 6, Disney’s Newest Team of Superheroes  Baymax, voiced by 30 Rock alum Scott Adsit, is a friendly, giant, inflatable robot who was created as a medical companion to treat ailments, but gets upgraded with armor and weapons to fight crime. Disney  Hiro Hamada, voiced by Ryan Potter, is 14-year-old robotics prodigy and de facto leader of the Big Hero 6 who gives Baymax his robotic crime-fighting upgrades. Disney  GoGo Tomago, voiced by Jamie Chung, is a a spunky and athletic girl with a need for speed. She zooms around on electro magnetic discs that double as weapons that she can project. Disney  Wasabi, voiced by Damon Wayans, Jr., is a slightly neurotic neat-freak who uses a pair of plasma laser blades to slice up opponents. Disney  Honey Lemon, voiced by Génesis Rodríguez, fights crime with her purse, which doubles as a mini-lab that can churn out spheres that can disable, explode, or do a host of other things to foes. Disney  Fred, voiced by T.J. Miller, is the resident comic-book geek of the group. Although not a genius like his compatriots, he more than makes up for it with his enthusiasm and a robotic suit that can breathe fire.
